Allision at Rønne
In the morning of Nov 3, 2016, at 7.35 a.m. the "Lill". whilst coming from Sølvesborg, allided with the outer jetty during the approach to Rønne. The ship suffered a large hole in the hull, and will now be examined before it can proceed. On Nov 6 at the earliest the ship will be surveyed by a diver. The Bornholm Police was notified only at 12:38 a.m. and then made sure that the ship was detained. The delay of five hours before the accident was a violation of law. Both the captain and first mate were alcohol tested without result. Everything indicated that the cause of the accident was crosswind and too little engine power. The ship left the port of Rønne after inspections on Nov 4 around 11 p.m. and berthed at the Gdynia Shipyard in Gdynia on Nov 5 at 6 p.m. for repairs of grounding damage.
