I have a litt more information about sinking of the RHENUS Schub. This information (But the 4juli on the South of Italy in the Meditarean sea some things happend en the Rhenus Schub was sinking to 250 meters tho the bottom of the sea.) Is incorrect. The posisjon while the Rhenus is going tho te bottom is 3.6.2008 Southewest from the Greece Islandl Sapienza (Pelepones) . I am very interest in pictures of it. With Greathings Martin

Is ther may by some body who nose more about this accident . In the last of the mond juni the Greek tugboat from the Gigilinis Group arrived in Holland to pick up a tow job. The job was to tow the river pushboat Rhenus Schub 2 from Holland trough de Mediterean sea Blacksea to the begynning of the river Donau .Because this push boat was tho big tho use the Rhine Donau channel. Normally this kind of river pushboats wil be liftet on a seagoing barge or ship , because its to riskey to tow it over the sea. But this time the towning the Rhenus Schub on her self . But the 4juli on the South of Italy in the Meditarean sea some things happend en the Rhenus Schub was sinking to 250 meters tho the bottom of the sea. The Europe arrrived Holland. The Europe with the Rhenus Schub on her way to the sea , the pushboat back the Rhenus Schub only use on the river. On the sea only the Europe Is ther mayby some body who nose more abbout this accident , story pictures of this towning on sea or the accident. With Greathings Martin
