Tanker slams into lock wall in Brunsbuettel - Tanker smashes into wall at Schleuse Brunsbüttel
Hey there! Let's talk about a shipping mishap that occurred in Brunsbüttel, shall we? On a fateful Monday afternoon, a Norwegian flag-bearing tanker had an unfortunate run-in with the central wall of the new South Lock. The collision left the ship with some cosmetic damage, in the form of paint scrapes, and the lock wall with comparable scratches. The ship was loaded with carbon dioxide, but thankfully, nobody was hurt.
The water police are currently digging into the facts to figure out what led to this encounter.
- Location: Brunsbüttel
- Vessel: CO2 tanker 'Embla'

Interestingly, another incident involving an inland cargo barge named 'Tor Elbe' and the motor tanker 'Daniel Deymann' took place a day prior, also without a definitive explanation for the collision. As of now, details about the cause of the 'Embla' incident are scant. [4][5] Keep an eye on the news for updates on this ongoing investigation.
- The community of Brunsbüttel may want to consider implementing a revised policy for vessel traffic, especially through the Kiel Canal, to prevent similar accidents involving ships like the CO2 tanker 'Embla'.
- Meanwhile, in the world of transportation and industry, the construction of a vocational training center in Brunsbüttel could help improve the skills of local dockworkers and boatmen, potentially reducing the risk of future accidents.
- As the investigation into the collision of the CO2 tanker 'Embla' continues, it's worth noting that the tanker industry relies heavily on finance and general-news outlets for timely information and updates on such incidents.
- Before the CO2 tanker 'Embla' was involved in the collision, it had sailed under the Norwegian flag, marking it as a significant player in the international shipping scene.
- While the bridge at Brunsbüttel has been repaired post-accident, there remains a need for ongoing monitoring of the Kiel Canal waterway, along with enhancing vocational training to ensure the safety of vessels and the workforce alike.
