On April 11, 2023, in the bustling port of Ijmuiden, a maritime incident occurred involving two vessels. The 5,084 gross ton cargo ship, Green Egersund (IMO: 8804567), engaged in a mooring maneuver that led to a bow-to-bow collision with the Barbados-flagged reefer vessel, Tasman Star (IMO: 8221844), which was safely berthed at the quay. The incident transpired when the Green Egersund inadvertently struck the starboard bow of the Tasman Star with its port side bulwark. Thankfully, both ships experienced only minor damage above the waterline, ensuring no significant threats to safety or seaworthiness. Following the completion of investigations into the collision, the Green Egersund departed Ijmuiden at 5 p.m., arriving at its next destination in Amsterdam at Klosterboer approximately an hour later. Meanwhile, the Tasman Star chose to anchor in the approach to Ijmuiden on the following day, April 12.
