In a dramatic incident on May 24, 2012, the cargo vessel 'Polargas' collided with the 'Rhonita' in the Ghent-Terneuzen Canal around 6:15 AM in Sluiskil, where the 'Polargas' was stationed at the Yara terminal. The collision raised alarms as the 'Polargas' was loaded with ammonia and LPG, prompting local emergency services to remain on high alert. Fortunately, a thorough investigation quickly concluded that there was no leakage of any hazardous materials, allowing officials to scale back the alarm by 6:30 PM. The 'Rhonita', which was en route from Ghent, was attended to by the Rijkswaterstaat and local police, who ensured it was safely moored at Kanaal Way. Meanwhile, the 'Polargas' was assisted by several tugs from Multraship and was towed to berth at Industrie Way in Terneuzen. Authorities also apprehended the captain of the Belgian flagged vessel, subjecting him to a breathalyzer test to ensure compliance with safety regulations.
