Pusher tug sank in Emmerich
On March 20, 2018, the "Andrea“ (EU-No.: 08557075; MMSI-No.: 203999349; CS: OED9009), sank on the Rhine in the port of Emmerich. The bow, which was connected with a pushed barge, remained above water, while the stern with the cabins foundered completely. The fire rescue, police and river authority were on scene in order to prevent a pollution of port and river. Three rings of oil barriers were laid out around the wreck. Attempts to dewater the tug failed, so a sheerleg will have to raise the "Andrea" in the forthcoming days.
