Two allisions in the Kiel Canal

Enroute from Rotterdam to Liepaja the "Okyalos" allided with two pilings in the Kiel Canal during its eastbound transit in the morning of Mar 16, 2014. The ship passed the canal with tug assistance. At Kudensee the wire of the stern tug "Bugsier 15" broke, and the unloaded ship was pushed against the pilings by the stron NE wind. The piling groups suffered severe damage. Also the winch of the tug was damaged so that it had to suspend the assistance and was replaced by another tug, the "Luchs". After the tug was connected, the voyage was resumed, but at 11.45 a.m. the wind caused another allision with six steel pilings on the south side of the Kiel Canal at Schülp. After the ship reached the canal locks in Kiel Holtenau, it was investigated and allowed to continue the voyage at 5 p.m.
