Recovery of lost containers after collision

The 'Hebo Cat 7' was tasked with the recovery of multiple containers on the morning of Dec 6, 2024, which had been lost in a collision in Maassluis by an inland cargo vessel with the 'River Drone 5' at around 06:15 a,m, on Het Scheur. The containers that fell into the water washed up on the Koning Willem-Alexander Boulevard in Maassluis. The containers were empty, and one of the boxes was open, causing it to fill with water. Due to the receding water, four containers have since got stuck. Boats from the port authority were looking for more containers; on the Maassluis side. The patrol boat 'RWS 71' of Rijkswaterstaat was monitoring the site with the 'Contargo II' nearby.
