Bulker hit lock gate in Kiel Canal

The „Long Lucky“ allided with a reserve lock of the Kiel Canal in Kie-Holtenau when entering the large southern lock enroute Tarragona - Ust-Luga on June 6, 2013, at 5.30 p.m. The ship had been fuelled at the Bominflot bunker Station in Kiel-Wik since 3 p.m. and had received assistance by the SFK-tug "Holtenau" for the passage of the locks. Short after the ship unmoored, it veered to starboard, narrowly escaped a collision with the canal ferry "Adler 1" and finally hit the gate which was berthed at the canal shore. The gate was damaged, and also the bulkcarrier suffered scratches. The tug pulled the ship back into the fairway, and it berthed in the lock around 6 p.m. After the surveys were finished, the "Long Lucky" continued to Russia at 7.15 p.m. German reports with photos: http://forum-schiff.de/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1377&p=90999#p90999 http://www.kn-online.de/Lokales/Kiel/Long-Lucky-rammte-Schleusentor
