No one was injured, when the car carrier slammed into the cargo ship's side. The "Schelde Highway" returned to the Ems Quay where she berthed at 6 p.m., the "Vitin" berthed at the Zungen Quay at the same time. While the car carrier had suffered only slight damage and resumed the voyage to Grimsby the same evening, the "Vitin" suffered significant damage at the port side foreship.
