Drunken master allided with pontoon

The inmate master of the "Tsunami", 925 ts (EU-No.: 04031110), was responsible for an accident in the fishery port of Bremerhaven on March 30, 2017. The ship had sailed at 1:15 p.m. from the fishing port II towards the double lock. Due to an unresolved cause, the barge allided with a fixed pontoon. Both ship and pontoon suffered scratches and abrasions. A little later, the main engine and the bow thruster of the "Tsunami" failed. With the help of other vessels, the water police ensured that the ship moored at the West Quay. When boarding the ship, police officers found that the 56-year-old master had an alcohol level of 1.64 per thousand. An investigation because of threatening the shipping traffic was launched by the prosecutor who ordered a security deposit of 600 Eeuros. The barge may leave Bremerhaven only after the technical problems have been remedied. She left the port of Bremerhaven on Apr 3 at 9.15. a.m. bound to Bremen.
