Barges broke lose from pusher tug
Four barges from the 'Veerhaven VII', enroutze from Rotterdam to Schwelgen, broke loose on Nov 6, 2025, at around 9:00 a.m. near the Botlek Bridge on the Oude Maas River in Rotterdam. The Port Authority and Rijkswaterstaat (the Directorate-General for Public Works and Water Management) assisted with several vessels to remove the barges from the waterway. The cause was still unknown. The patrol vessel 'RPA13' (IMO: 9239575) was able to bring one of the barges to shore relatively quickly. The other three barges were anchored alongside. Shipping traffic around the Botlek Bridge was disrupted timewise. Report with photos: https://www.schuttevaer.nl/nieuws/actueel/2025/11/06/duwbakken-schieten-los-bij-botlekbrug-in-rotterdam/
