Collision near Kinderdijk
On the evening of Oct 16, 2026, the inland tanker 'Boxster' (MMSI: 05419290), enroute from Rotterdam to Ghent, was in collision with the 'Maria B', enroute from Antwerp to Rotterdam, at the junction near Kinderdijk, where the rivers Noord, Lek, and Nieuwe Maas converge. Emergency services were alerted shortly before midnight; the police received the report of the incident at 11:45 p.m. An ambulance also arrived at the scene, though its crew was not required to take any action. Rijkswaterstaat deployed two vessels to the site to provide assistance. Following the incident, the ships were moored at the cruise ship docks in Kinderdijk, near the Lekdijk embankment. The collision appears to have taken place some time earlier, with the incident only being reported to the police and emergency services around midnight. The 'Mari B' was sailing along the Noord river at approximately 10:15 p.m. and turned onto the Lek, where the 'Boxster' was approaching from the direction of the Lek. The port police conducted an investigation into the collision and administered breathalyzer tests to the skippers involved. It was not yet known how the two vessels collided, nor was there any clarity regarding the extent of the damage.
