Collision off Bornholm

On May 6, 2017, the "VT Electron" with the barge "VT Stockholm", 14400 gt (IMO: 9006461) was in collision with the chemical tanker "Purple Gem" north of Bornholm. The police received the notification of the collision at 11.20 a.m. and headed to the position 25 miles northeast of the island. The tanker apparently was anchored with engine damage when she was hit by the tug wich pushed a coal barge. No injuries were reported. The barge sustained bow damage, the tanker damage at the port side stern. The police went out to inspect the damage and question the parties involved aboard a boat from Nexø rescue service. The "VT Electron" entered the port of Rønne on May 7 at 11.30 a.m. Human error aboard the tug was said to have caused the collision 16 miles north-northeast of Christiansø. The crew of the tug reported to the Bornholm police that they acted incorrectly, and there was a formal judicial aftermath.
