Mosel blocked at Pagny after lock allision
On Aug 23, 2012, the "Pura Vida", 1325 ts (EU-No.: 06004135),allided with a gate of the Pagny-lock on the Mosel which had to be closed for ship traffic between km 318 and 310. The unloaded vessel had entered the lock with 6 km/h but could not be stopped in time due to a technical failure. The maste rtold his wife and children to jump from the ship before it ran into the gate. A barrier which should avoid such crashes was demolished too and did not keep the barge from hitting the gate, which was dented, with the remaining speed. The ship suffered minor damage.
