Tank barge stuck under bridge
On June 14, 2016, around 7 a.m. the "Monza", 2386 ts (EU-No.: 04803340), got stuck under the new bridge over the Van Starkenborghkanaal at Dorkwerd. Ship traffic was obstructed for several hours. The tanker had just unloaded its cargo and therefore was fairly high in the water. The skipper has probably made an error in judgement and thus got stuck. The piping on the deck of the vessel was damaged. The bridge suffered only slight damage like scratches. In the foremidday hours the barge could be freed again after ballast water was pumped into the tanks.
