Inland vessel damaged by drifting barge
The St. Goar Water Police were on Nov 21, 2025, at approximately 5:45 a.m. of a push convoy consisting of the ' Somnium Vitae' and a barge, had broken apart near the Bad Salzig roadstead, at Rhine kilometer 565.00. The convoy, loaded with approximately 2,000 tons of construction stones, was moored in pos. 50° 12' N 007° 39' E, outside the fairway, at the time of the incident. Two anchor piles and a bow anchor had been deployed. The convoy began to tip forward, its bow pointing towards the center of the river. Subsequently, due to the strong current, the starboard mooring lines snapped. This caused the stern of the barge to pierce the bow of the inland vessel, resulting in a tear of approximately 50 centimetres length in the hull and water ingress, which was stopped using onboard pumps. After consultation with the responsible river master, the barge was towed to an emergency berth in Bingen by a summoned cargo ship. The 'Somnium Vitae' was still at the scene in Bad Salzig and was likely also need to be lightened there. During the operation, there were minor disruptions to shipping traffic in the area of the accident. The St. Goar water police were assisted by the Boppard volunteer fire department, which had also been alerted. Further investigations into the exact circumstances of the accident were ongoing.
