On Feb 19, 2011, at 5.50 p.m. the cargo m/v "RMS Twisteden" was in collision with the "Stolt Texas" at Duisburg near the Baerler Bridge. The cargo ship veered to port and ran into the midship section of the tanker. The double hull on its port side suffered a hole. The "RMS Twisteden" suffered a hole in the bow and some dents. A technical failure of the rudder gear of the "RMS Twistede" was thought to have caused the accident. Both ships will have to undergo before being allowed to proceed. The "RMS Twisteden" was underway from Duisburg to Gool with 960 tons aluminium. It berthed at Duisburg in Basin A. The "Stolt Texas" was moored in the harbour canal at Pontwert.
