On May 7 at approximately 5:30 PM, the vessel 'Forest' was successfully liberated from the collapsed loader at the Rautenberg Silo in Vorwerk Port, Lübeck. The vessel was promptly relocated to an adjacent berth after being temporarily secured. This incident follows a severe storm that struck on May 5, which resulted in several containers being overturned at the Lübeck-Siems terminal.

On May 5, 2015, a powerful thunderstorm wreaked havoc in Lübeck, Germany, as wind gusts reached an alarming 120 km/h. During the storm, a grain loader from the Rautenberg silo collapsed, crashing down onto Nordland Quay. This incident not only destroyed a federal police bus but also caused significant damage to the 'Forest,' a vessel docked at the quay. Fortunately, the police officer on board the bus managed to escape just moments before the vehicle was partly buried under the debris of the collapsed structure.
