Barge broke free on Eems Canal
The 'Sailing Home' broke lose from its mooring on Feb 2, 2026, at around 8.30 a.m. and was stranded for two hours on the Eems Canal near Amsweer, just south of Delfzijl. The vessel had been loading malting barley when it broke free and driftedperpendicular to the waterway, which was blocked. Another vessel attempted to refloat the vessel, but to no avail. At around 10:30 a.m. a tug of Royal Wagenborg managed to free the ship. Due to the blockage, two other vessels were waiting in the canal. The blockage has now been lifted.
