A Dutch tanker has refloated after runing aground off Cuxhaven in Germany.

The 12,500-dwt Oriental Nadeshiko (built 2009) got stuck early on Monday morning in the Elbe, the Basler Zeitung reported, citing German authorities.

It is loaded with a 9,000-tonne cargo.

The crew was reported as saying no damage has been suffered by the vessel.

The cargo includes hydraulic fluids, solvents and fuel.
