The vessel – which was carrying 206 people, three of whom had Covid symptoms – was freed late on Thursday (14 August) by a research ship after multiple failed attempts.
“All onboard are safe and there is no damage to the environment,” said AE Expeditions in a statement.
Ocean Explorer, Danish authorities have said, will now go to a designated port for closer examination.
