This bathymetric map taken from My Ship Tracking is pretty revealing. It appears that at least 1/3 of the ship is aground, with the forward 1/4 in water only 0.5 meters deep. So it really pushed through a lot of mud or sand. Dredging and perhaps lightering may be more effective than tugs. As would ground tackle, but at the expense of time to set it up. It does sound like the ship was moved a few meters on Saturday, with more and bigger tugs on the way for probably more pulls on Sunday.
