Tug damaged in deadly collision
the Antigua-Barbuda-flagged cargo m/v "Planet V" on its way from Antwerp to St. Petersburg was in collision with the "MTS Vantage" on the Westerscheldt on Flushing roads on May 26, 2012, at 6 p.m. after a complete loss of engine power. The crew of the "Planet V" tried to lower the anchor after the blackout to avoid a collision with the tug which was on parallel course, but the anchor chain of the "Planet V" broke and hit a crewmember on the foreship who was deadly injured. When ambulance personnel arrived on board the ship, the man was already deceased. Both ships were damaged. The tug entered the port of Flushing with own power. The cargo ship returned to the Bijleveld Port in Flushing under tow and was berthed at 20.20 p.m.
