The Prince-Of-Seas: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

On the morning of September 30, 2015, a collision unfolded between two vessels, the eastbound tanker m/v 'Kösterberg' and the westbound 'Grona Aalsum,' as they navigated the Kiel Canal near Fischerhütte in thick fog. The 'Grona Aalsum,' traveling from Tornio to Flushing, struck the 'Kösterberg,' causing the tanker to veer into the embankment and significantly damaging several dolphins. The impact left one dolphin completely submerged and another precariously tilted in the fairway. Fortunately, all vessels were able to resume their journeys post-collision. The 'Grona Aalsum' successfully docked at the railway pilings in Brunsbüttel at 6:15 a.m., while the 'Prince of Seas' secured a berth at the navy pilings in the same location at the same hour. Meanwhile, the 'Kösterberg' continued its transit and ultimately docked at the Bominflot bunker quay in Kiel at 10:20 a.m. for necessary inspections and surveys. After concluding its evaluations, the 'Kösterberg' departed Kiel at 6:30 p.m., continuing its voyage from Bremerhaven to Aarhus. The 'Grona Aalsum' had already set sail by 3:00 p.m., while the 'Prince of Seas' remained in Brunsbüttel temporarily, assessing its next course of action.
