On Apr 14, 2017, the "Andesborg" allided with the quay of the Pampus Port in Norrköping. The ship was about to berth at dock 2, coming from Rotterdam, at 11.45 a.m. A small hole was torn into the hull, and diesel started leaking out. The municipal rescue service was in place and has requested assistance from the Swedish Coast Guard because there were difficult conditions with strong winds. The Coast Guard has initiated a environmental rescue operation and deployed the "KBV 305", "KBV 310", "KBV 473" and the environmental protection vessel "KBV 050". Up to 1000 liters of diesel were estimated to have leaked out. The crew of the vessel started emptying the tank. At 3.45 p.m. The leakage was sealed.
