Repair of collision damage done, ship underway on the Northsea
The "EDT Hercules", after its collision with the Swedish tank m/v "Prospero", (IMO: 9212589), in the Kiel Canal at Breiholz left the port of Esbjerg again on Feb 23 at 4.30 p.m. Meanwhile the damage at the starboard side stern had been welded. The "Prospero", also having repaired the damage to its port side in the meantime, berthed in Rotterdam from Feb 23 at 3 a.m. until Feb 24, 1 a.m., before heading to Frederikshavn as next port of call. The accident in the Kiel Canal was thought to have been caused by both ships having been sucked to the other after a strong wind gust caught the "EDT Hercules" which was about to pass the tanker at that time and had not enough distance to the slower ship.
