Drunk captain with cocaine in his blood ran ship aground
During the transit of the Scheldt-Rhine Canal, the 'Mallorco', enroute from Antwerp to Amsterdam, sailed into into the stern of another inland vessel and then ran aground on the embankment on March 28, 2026. Upon inspection, it turned out the Dutch captain was drunk and had consumed cocaine. The breathalyzer showed a result of 1280 µg/l, nearly six times the permitted limit Other skippers in the area had alerted the police following the tanker's strange sailing behaviour. The ship had been swerving for some time when it hit another vessel and then got stuck on the bank at the entrance to the Scheldt-Rhine Canal. The police came on board and suspected that the man was drunk. At the station, officers administered a breathalyzer test to the skipper; the test showed a result of nearly six times the permitted level of alcohol. The sailing license has been confiscated; and he has been arrested for sailing under the influence as well as for beaching the vessel of the shipping company Marbia Shipping BV in Belgium.
