Another allision in Bremerhaven
As the 'Ocean Breeze' was departing Bremerhaven on Oct 8, the vessel had to navigate through the connecting harbour towards the Kaiser Lock, as the North Lock was out of service. During this maneuver, the ship struck the passage between the North Harbour and the connecting harbour, which necessitated a temporary closure of that section. Subsequently, the ship was held in the Kaiser Lock, before being moved to Kaiserhafen 2 East for repairs. Finally, on Oct 10, the vessel departed, this time without any issues, next headed to Antwerp, where it arrived on Oct 12 and remained stationary as of Oct 16.
Allision in Bremerhaven
The 'Ocean Breeze', enroute from Emden, allided with the outer gate of the northern lock in Bremerhaven on Oct 8, 2026, at 2 a.m., while entering the port, despite assistance of tugs. It damaged the concrete wall at the outer lock gate and dislodged a concrete block measuring approximately two by three meters from its position in the wall of the lock. Because it protruded so far that it could not be ruled out that the lock gate was at risk, safety measures were immediately initiated, and the lock was temporarily shut down. The concrete block was then removed using a crane. Afterward, the Bremenports diving team was deployed. The divers recovered chunks of concrete and rock that had fallen into the water and could have hindered the opening and closing of the lock gate. The lock was put back into operation at 11 a.m. According to Bremenports, there was no major backlog of ships. The damage to the flood protection wall was to be repaired in the coming weeks. Bremenports started determining the exact amount of the material damage. Report with photo: https://www.butenunbinnen.de/nachrichten/autotransporter-rammt-nordschleuse-bremerhaven-100.html
