CO2 tanker crashes against lock wall in Brunsbüttel-property damage remains low!

Brunsbüttel, Deutschland - Yesterday afternoon an incident occurred in Brunsbüttel when a CO2 tanker driving under Norwegian flag collided with the medium wall while entering the new south lock. This collision took place at 1:25 p.m. and caused only low color dropouts on the ship and lock system, while fortunately no people were harmed.

The water protection police immediately initiated investigations into the incident. Alarming scenarios failed to materialize: there was no water ingress and no leaking operating materials. The event led to property damage, but without any noteworthy consequences for the operation of the lock or the security of the environment.
