In a significant maritime incident on January 23, 2015, at approximately 2:35 a.m., the bulk carrier 'Wilson Hamburg', traveling from Saint Malo to Szczecin, collided with the inward gate of the small Northern lock at the Kiel Canal in Brunsbüttel. The allision caused considerable damage, limiting the operation of both lock gates, which could only function during low tide thereafter. Following the accident, the vessel docked at the South Quay in Brunsbüttel and was allowed to set sail eastward at 4:20 p.m. The dense fog conditions at the time of the accident are believed to have contributed to this mishap, with preliminary assessments pointing to human error as the potential cause.
