Diesel Spill Incident at Norrköping's Pampus Port Involving the Andesborg
On April 14, 2017, the cargo vessel 'Andesborg' experienced an allision with the quay at Pampus Port in Norrköping while preparing to dock at berth 2. The incident occurred at approximately 11:45 a.m. as the ship was approaching from Rotterdam. Unfortunately, the impact resulted in a small breach in the hull, leading to a considerable diesel leak. The local municipal rescue service responded quickly to the scene and called for support from the Swedish Coast Guard due to challenging weather conditions characterized by strong winds. In response to the spill, the Coast Guard activated an environmental rescue operation. They deployed multiple vessels for the recovery effort, including the 'KBV 305', 'KBV 310', 'KBV 473', and the environmental protection vessel 'KBV 050'. Initial assessments estimated that up to 1000 liters of diesel were released into the surroundings. Crewmembers aboard the 'Andesborg' initiated emptying procedures for the affected tank. By 3:45 p.m., the leak was successfully sealed, and specialized equipment was utilized to focus on recovering the spilled diesel using absorbent materials, a process that continued into April 15. After completing necessary repairs, the 'Andesborg' departed from Norrköping and set sail for Hamburg at around 1 a.m. on April 21, with an estimated time of arrival (ETA) in Hamburg set for April 22 at 2 a.m. For further details and visuals of the incident, you can view the Swedish reports that include photos and video links: [NT News - Allision Incident](http://www.nt.se/nyheter/norrkoping/fartyg-har-kort-in-i-kajenlacker-diesel-om4597250.aspx) and [NT News - Diesel Leak Details](http://www.nt.se/nyheter/norrkoping/efter-krocken-sa-mycket-diesel-lackte-ut-om4598268.aspx).
