New building pushed by Waterlelie allided with bridge

On Aug 20, 2013, at 8 p.m. the Dutch cargo m/v new building "Arctic Dawn", 5465 gt (IMO 9671462) which was pushed by the "Waterlelie" on the Ij allided with the Schellingwouder Bridge which had to be temporarily closed to traffic. The top of the ship hit the bridge, causing that it could not close. The traffic from the Zeeburger Isle to the North and back had to be diverted. At 10 p.m. the bridge was closed and traffic was resmued. However, the bridge had shifted about one centimeter which also caused a problem with the lock. The damage thus has to be repaired, but no date was fixed yet. Dutch report with photos and video: http://www.at5.nl/artikelen/109177/schellingwouderbrug-tijdelijk-defect-door-aanvaring
