On September 30, 2015, an early morning incident unfolded in the Kiel Canal as the eastbound vessel 'Kösterberg' and the westbound cargo ship 'Grona Aalsum' collided while navigating in dense fog at Fischerhütte. The 'Grona Aalsum', which was en route from Tornio to Flushing, scraped against the reefer 'Prince of Seas', resulting in the 'Kösterberg' being thrust into the embankment. This unfortunate event led to the destruction of several dolphins near the canal; one was completely submerged while another remained at an angle in the fairway. Fortunately, all involved vessels managed to continue their journeys. The 'Grona Aalsum' docked at the railway pilings in Brunsbüttel at 6:15 a.m., while the 'Prince of Seas' moored at the navy pilings in Brunsbüttel at the same hour. The 'Kösterberg' made its way to Kiel, arriving at the Bominflot bunker quay at 10:20 a.m. for necessary inspections. The 'Kösterberg' set off again at 6:30 p.m. to resume its voyage to Aarhus from Bremerhaven. In contrast, the 'Grona Aalsum' had already departed by 3 p.m., and the 'Prince of Seas' opted to remain in Brunsbüttel for the time being.

The repairs on the cargo vessel 'Kösterberg', following a collision incident, have been successfully completed at Norder Yard in Hamburg. The ship set sail on February 3 at 7 p.m., heading towards Nordenham. It arrived at its destination, the Rhenus S Co. terminal, on February 4 at 8:15 a.m. Additionally, on February 1, the tug 'Wal', with the assistance of 'Finn', facilitated the return of 'Seeponton 1' from Papenburg to Bremerhaven.

The bulk carrier 'Kösterberg' recently completed unloading operations at Bremerhaven, where it discharged its cargo between 7 p.m. on January 26 and 10 a.m. on January 27. Following a brief stop at the North Port, the vessel set course for Hamburg, departing at approximately 8 p.m. on January 27. The Kösterberg arrived at Norderyard Hamburg on January 28 at 8:30 a.m. to undertake essential repairs stemming from damage sustained to its bow and bulwark.
