Freighter allided with bridge
On Apr 15, 2017, at 4.20 p.m. the "Royal 09", which was anchored about a cable downstream from the Đồng Nai Bridge on the Đồng Nai River in Bien Hoa City, after a tehcnial problem, broke lose from her anchor with the rising tide in combination with strong winds. The disabled ship drifted about 100 meters upstream, alliding with the bridge. The ship’s stern got stuck in the construction, and the bridge traffic was suspended. After about 30 minutes three tugs pulled the unloaded ship out which was moored nearby. The bridge sustained only slight damages due to the impact, and crossing traffic has been resumed since. The crew of nine of the vessel was not injured.
