Stranded ship is blocking River Nene between Sutton Bridge and Wisbech

An operation is due to be launched later today to help re-float a stranded ship.

The Baltic Arrow is currently blocking the River Nene after running aground earlier today.

The ship is stuck close to West Walton and is blocking marine traffic which was heading from Sutton Bridge to Port Wisbech.
