German rescuers launched a fresh bid Tuesday to free a humpback whale stranded for a month off the country's coast, aiming to transport the cetacean to deeper waters in a barge.

The 13-metre (over 40 foot) whale and its struggle for survival have gripped Germany since it beached on a sandbank near the city of Luebeck, far from its natural habitat in late March.
