Barge grounded on dam
On Dec 19, 2019, at 7 p.m. the 'Colombia', 3010 ts (EU-No.: 06004239) along with the barge 'Colombia II', 2600 ts (EU-No.: 06004240 ), ran onto a dam in the foreport of Hansweert at the entrance of the port on the Westerschelde, whilst coming from Antwerp. The damage seemed to be less than initally expected, although there was a small leak. The towing and salvage company Polderman from Hansweert deployed the tug 'Delta' to refloat the 'Colombia' which was moored in the southern foreport. Rijkswaterstaat carried out an inspection. Other ship traffic has not been affected. No spill, no inuries reported. Dutch report with photo: https://www.omroepzeeland.nl/nieuws/117095/Schip-vaart-op-havendam-Hansweert
