Wilson Dover wreaks havoc in Skagen

In the morning of Aug 25, 2014, the "Wilson Dover" allided with the dock of the Sildemels Quay while entering the port of Skagen, coming from Bremerhaven, at 6.30 a.m. The ship had suffered an engine failure causing the vessel to be unable to stop and hitting the quay with significant speed, first causing some containers to collapse. Then the ship moved on and struck the transversing berth with its bulbous bow, leaving a large hole and causing the road to collapse. The ship suffered only minor damage and berthed at the factory quay until Aug 27 when it sailed to Hellvik with an ETA of Aug 28.
