Barge kept from sinking in Tolkamer
The “Jupiter”, 1059 ts (EU-No. 04007960), suffered water ingress on Mar 13, 2015, around 4 a.m. in Tolkamer. Boats of the fire rescue, the launch "RWS 43" of Rijkswaterstaat and the fire brigade from nearby Emmerich attended. It was started to unload the cargo of coal with the dredger ship „Avontuur II“ (MMSI-No.: 244700607), onto the Dutch barge “Lidwina” (MMSI-No.: 244700861), which had moored alongside for this purpose. By this, the "Jupiter" rose in the water, and the leak could be identified and temporarily patched.
