This spectacular footage shows a large cargo ship that entered shallow waters where it became stranded on a trestle.

The vessel 'Changneng 6588' was filmed shortly after it ran aground on the Longzhaoyan trestle in the Yangtze River, in eastern China's Jiangsu Province in the early hours of August 31.

The ginormous boat was not carrying any cargo when it reached an extremely shallow part of the river and balanced precariously on the long structure.

Hours later, the Maritime Search and Rescue Centre dispatched patrol vessels for an emergency salvage operation.

The operation also included the efforts of engineering vessels, high-power tugs, and pollution control vessels.
