On October 10, 2016, the cargo vessel 'Karmel' collided with a marine fish farm operated by Snaptun Fisk-Export near Assens, Denmark, resulting in a significant ecological impact. The incident led to the escape of an estimated 70,000 to 80,000 trout, weighing approximately 250 tons, which represented about one-third of the farm's total production. The financial implications of the escape were staggering, with an estimated value of around nine million Danish crowns. The 'Karmel,' while transporting wood chips to Assens, struck the fish farm's steel cages with its bow, causing debris to entangle the ship's propeller. The Danish Police received a report of the incident at 1:14 p.m., though the collision had occurred earlier, at approximately 10:50 a.m. Following the accident, the 'Karmel' anchored roughly six kilometers west of Assens and was subsequently detained by the Danish Maritime Authority for investigation.
