Allision in Borkum
On Nov 15, 2020, around 11 a.m., the 'Nordwind', coming from Sassnitz, was unable to stop its engine when entering the port of Borkum. The skipper could not uncouple the engine and set course for a particularly stable bridge in order to cause as little damage as possible in the impending allision. The ship hit a concrete bridg head-on with the engine still moving forward. The bowsprit of the steel ship tore off two bridge lighting lanterns from their mast. The bridge suffered scratches. There was only minor material damage to the yacht. None of the seven crew members were injured.
