A cargo ship has run aground in the Humber Estuary.

Vessel Finder, a website that tracks the status of ships, said the current navigation status of H&S Wisdom was "aground" in the North Sea, near Welton.

According to the website, the vessel is a general cargo ship that was built in 2004 and is currently sailing under the flag of the Netherlands.

The tracker said the ship left Rotterdam on Saturday and was heading to Gunness Wharf Port near Scunthorpe.

Gunness Wharf Port is operated by RMS Trent Ports. It handles mainly bulk and steel-based imports and exports, accommodating vessels that are up to 328ft (100m) long.

The BBC has contacted the ship's owners for comment.
