Container barge crashed into the ship, many injured boats were detained
    According to the search network, on June 8th (Saturday), a container ship named ASTROSPRINTER traveled on the Elbe River, an important navigation channel in northern Europe, with a 136-year-old antique-class sailing ship. "Easy No. 5" had a collision accident.
    The collision caused the boat to sink, and the passengers and crew totaled 43 people. All of them were rescued, but 5 of them were injured. One person was hit by a falling mast and the injury was more serious.

    After the accident, in order to cooperate with the investigation, the ASTROSPRINTER round was required to be berthed at the port of Brunsbuettel for further investigation. It is expected that the delivery of the transshipment cargo on board will be delayed!
    According to the search network, the container ship ASTROSPRINTER, which has a collision accident, is a public barge serving the European region. It is mainly responsible for the transshipment of the largest ports in Rotterdam and Hamburg Port to other partial and inland areas.

    According to reports, the sailboat had just completed a renovation of 1.5 million euros. The impact of the cargo ship caused a large hole in the hull of the sailing ship, and a mast on the sailboat was also destroyed.


▲ Foreign media reports on the incident

    The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) said that at the time, the rescue boat was handling a small accident nearby. After the two ships collided, they quickly rushed to the scene and did their best to participate in the rescue.

    "If we are not nearby, there may be people who die," Fire Department official Wilfried told local media. The BBC also mentioned that after the impact, the sailboat quickly sank in the shallow waters, and the cargo ship was not affected much in the collision, and it was basically intact.


    In view of the fact that the ASTROSPRINTER round of this collision incident served a number of well-known shipping companies, and the ship was forced to rely on the port for investigation after the accident, the cargo owners who had recently traveled to the partial port through Rotterdam and Hamburg Port needed to pay attention.
