Repair in Denmark
The "Evert Prahm" left the communal port of Rendsburg in the morning of Jan 15 and docked in the Danish port Soeby at 5.10 p.m. for repairs.
Evert Prahm being unloaded before sailing to repair yard
From Jan 12 to Jan 15 the cargo of 1900 tons corn of the "Evert Prahm" was unloaded at the quay of the communal port in Rendsburg and transported to its destination Husum with trucks. Also temporary repairs to the navigation system were carried out. On Jan 13 the ship was permitted to sail to a repair yard. Meanwhile the AIS-data was being analyzed by the authorities in order to find out the cause of the collision with the transporter bridge in Rendsburg. It was already known that the ship was underway with 8,4 knots on the Kiel Canal when the ferry unexpectedly for the three persons on the wheelhouse of the cargo ship - the watch officer on duty, the pilot and the coxswain - departed from the north shore. When it became clear that the collision was unevitable, the watch officer ordered the engine to stop. When the ship slammed into the ferry it had, however, still a speed of six knots. The skipper of the ferry was still in hospital with fractures and other injuries and could not yet be interrogated.
