The ship tilted and partially submerged. The fire brigade could not keep the ship afloat. The port service took over the case. The ship was to be refurbished. It had sunk in Colonia on Dec 27, 2018.

Party ship raised
On Jan 14 at 1 p.m. the "Pure Liner 2" was raised in the Niehl Port in Colonia. On Jan 11 at 11 p.m. the tug "Catharina 10" had arrived at the sinking site along with the sheerleg "Hebo-Lift 7". Along with the "Hebo-Lift 6" which had already prepared the sinking site on Jan 14 at 8 a.m. both cranes started pulling up the wreck which had a weight of 500 tons with the water inside. A number of high capacity pumps dewatered the ship which will now be investigated by experts. The costs of the salvage operation were several 100.000 Euro.
