Collision on the Waal
The "Montanara“, 3208 ts (EU-No.: 02331045), was in collision with the tank barge "Hermann Burmeister“, 1320 ts (EU-No.: 08043013), on the Waal at Gendt on Apr 2, 2018. The coal loaded "Montanara“ had suffered an electrical blackout which disabled the vessel. It drifted river downstream with the current until it hit the "Hermann Burmester“, which had sailed from Asterdam on Apr 1 and suffered a leak in the foreship with ensuing water ingress. The fire brigade of Millingen and Rijkswaterstaat attended the ship, and the water ingress could be brought under control with additional dewatering pumps. Escorted by a fire boat and a patrol boat of Rijkswaterstaat the tank barge was taken to the emergency port in Lobith. A mechanic meanwhile repaired the power supply aboard the "Montanara“ which berthed in Rotterdam at 10.45 p.m. Dutch reports with photos: https://www.gelderlander.nl/betuwe/schip-zonder-stroom-botst-tegen-olietanker-op-de-waal~a22c1b40/ http://www.112lingewaard.nl/schepen-botsen-elkaar-op-waal-gendt/
