Alcedo lost containers on Westerscheldt
On Dec 5, 2013, at 8.30 p.m. the "Alcedo" lost five containers on the Westerscheldt. All traffic between the Deurganck Dock and Flushing was shut down because of the collision risk. Four empty containers and one container loaded with tapioca had fallen into the river. The containers were found later in the evening. They had drifted against the embankment at the Well of Terneuzen so that the block was lifted. The "Alcedo" was en route from the Deurganckdock in Antwerp towards Terneuzen.
