Actually a pretty sad story when you read past the headline. Poor git.

due to the river being in, operations had to be slowed down

I'm not British. Can someone explain what this means? When is a river "in"?

It's related to tides. The river being in would suggest the tide was in / high. So a lot more water to slow down operations.
