Barge sank alongside Great Jade
In the afternoon of Oct 5, 2011, divers found the captain of the German registered, flagged, self propelled barge "Jonas", 1162 ts (EU-No.: 04403780), in the wheelhouse of the sunken wreck which suddenly had broken up during unloading work from the "Great Jade" with the floating crane "Nijlpaard" in the west port of Amsterdam. At that time the "Jonas" had 700 tons of cargo on board. The deckhadn was able to jump onto the floating crane in time. Divers of the Dutch Navy and the fire rescue Amsterdam then were sent down to look for the missing captain. There were speculations about the crane operator being an apprentice who might have handled too excessive weights. Dutch report with photos: http://www.tugspotters.com/dev/index.php?itemid=41054#more
