In a significant maritime incident, the container vessel 'Nordic Bremen' collided with the German fregate 'Mecklenburg-Vorpommern' in the Kiel Canal at Schülp on December 9, 2015, at approximately 3:44 a.m. The collision resulted in severe damage, with the main deck of the navy ship sustaining a gaping tear measuring four meters in length. Following the accident, 'Mecklenburg-Vorpommern' proceeded to Brunsbüttel, arriving at 9:30 a.m. for thorough inspections. The accident also impacted the 'Nordic Bremen', which sustained damage to several containers during the collision. This container ship had been making its way from Rotterdam to Helsinki and was able to dock at East Shore Port in Kiel at 7 a.m. The unfortunate incident occurred due to a sudden gust of wind that pushed the waiting fregate into the path of the container ship, despite the presence of tug assistance. At the time of the collision, the 'Mecklenburg-Vorpommern' was returning from a maneuver in the Baltic Sea and had just departed Brunsbüttel at 6 p.m. the previous day. After unloading the damaged containers, the 'Nordic Bremen' was able to resume its journey at 7 p.m., now with an updated estimated time of arrival in Helsinki set for December 11 at 9 a.m. For further details and updates, additional German news reports and photos can be found at: [Forum Schiff](http://forum-schiff.de/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1377&p=121102#p121102) [NDR Nachrichten](http://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/schleswig-holstein/Fregatte-nach-Kollision-stark-beschaedigt,nokunfall100.html) [KN Online](http://www.kn-online.de/News/Nord-Ostsee-Kanal/Nachrichten-vom-NOK/Rendsburg-Fregatte-bei-Kollision-im-Kanal-beschaedigt#) [SHZ](http://www.shz.de/schleswig-holstein/meldungen/fregatte-im-nord-ostsee-kanal-mit-containerschiff-kollidiert-id12164751.html)
