Passenger ferry was speared

On July 27, 2013, the "Schilksee" allided with the Dutch charter sailing s/v "Atlantis" (IMO: 8333635) at the Tiessen Quay in Kiel-Holtenau and got speared by its bowsprit. When leaving the quay during a harbour round trip, the passenger ferry was caught by a wind gust at 12.20 p.m. and drifted towards the sailing ship which was moored at the quay and its starboard smokestack got tangled in the bowsprit of the "Atlantis". Initially the "Atlantis" could have suffered damage in such a manoever, a part of the smokestack of the "Schilksee" was welded off to get the ship released. In the night of July 29, a new plate was welded onto the smokestack and the "Schilksee" returned to service.
