The River Nene at Sutton Bridge, Lincs, where the Lagik ship was stuck. The final section was removed and placed on a barge and the river is due to open for port traffic next week. The stranded freighter blocked the river for more than a month * but Dutch engineers sliced the 2,500 ton German ship into three sections and lifted them clear of the river onto a barge ready for removal by road. The ship got stuck across the river while carrying steel to Wisbech, Cambs, in November.
