New barge threatened to sink during trial

The new built "Panerai" was threatened to sink in the morning of Dec 18, 2017, at Volkerak near Willemstad in the Hollandsch Deep close to the Haringvliet Bridge. It was kept afloat by the salvage company BST Dintelsas. The ship was about to start a trial with 11.000 tons coal on board when it suffered water ingress in the engine room. The water level rose to two meters, and all systems on board failed. The tug "Furie 4" (MMSI: 244830754) of BST Dintelsas as well as the fire brigades Dinteloord and Willemstad attended. The KNRM boat "KNW 1910" of the station Dordrecht-South was on site 20 minutes after having been alerted and provided a mobile pump until the larger capacity of the "Furie 4" was available. The ship was able to proceed to Duisburg where it arrived in the morning of Dec 20 and berthed at the Thyssen Krupp Steel Europe AG.
