Read Authentic Ratings for the Np-Dudinka

The Kiel Canal lock in Brunsbüttel, which had recently sustained damage from the tanker 'Rhonestern', was temporarily reopened. However, divers conducted a detailed inspection of the gate rail on the morning of March 30, leading to another closure. The tanker had docked at Brunsbüttel-Ostermoor at 7:20 p.m. on March 29. Shortly thereafter, it resumed its voyage to Rostock to discharge its cargo before undergoing necessary repairs, with an estimated arrival time of 1 p.m. on March 30. The repairs resulting from the incident are anticipated to cost several hundred thousand euros. The vessel is scheduled to enter the Gdanska Stocznia Remontowa Yard in Ostrow for repairs on April 2 at 9 p.m. For further details, check out the latest German reports featuring photos at the following links: http://forum-schiff.de/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=23&p=135206#p135206, http://www.kn-online.de/News/Nachrichten-vom-NOK/Taucher-in-der-Schleuse-Brunsbuettel-im-EInsatz, http://rtlnord.de/nachrichten/schleusenkammer-in-brunsbuettel-nach-kollision-wieder-frei.html.

In the early hours of March 29, 2017, the tanker 'Rhonestern', sailing from Tarragona to Rostock, encountered a significant incident at the Kiel Canal's Brunsbüttel. The vessel collided with the middle wall of the large southern chamber shortly after midnight, creating a serious impact as it struck the approach pier and the gate niche. As the captain attempted to stabilize the situation, the ship's anchor was dropped, but it ended up being dragged over the lock gate rails during the emergency maneuver. This unfortunate incident resulted in substantial damage to both the lock infrastructure and the tanker itself, which now requires extensive repairs at a nearby shipyard. Currently, the 'Rhonestern' remains docked within the lock and is undergoing a thorough assessment. Fortunately, drug tests conducted on the crew returned negative results, ruling out any substance influence on the incident. Throughout the day, divers were deployed to inspect the lock for any underwater damage, while operations were temporarily limited. Only the smaller southern lock and the larger northern lock remained in service until noon that day. Updates on the incident, along with reports, videos, and photos, can be found through various local media outlets, including detailed coverage on German news sites and social media platforms.
