Ship sank in the night
The "Zwaluw" sank in the night of Nov 2, 2011, at the quay of the Albeton Company in Zeeburg. The ship had on board a cargo of 530 tons gravel. The ship had last been watched afloat around 11 p.m. but had slipped beneath the surface on Nov 3 at 6 a.m. Nobody was aboard at that time. Divers were sent down to investigate the wreck and oil booms laid out by Rijkswaterstraat as there was a small oil spill. On Nov 2 preparations for lifting the ship were initiated.
