Collision off Warnemünde
Written by AdminSailor
On Aug 5, 2015, at 5.30 a.m. the ferry "Mecklenburg-Vorpommern" was in collision with the "Wind Express" off Warnemünde which had just sailed from Rostock, Germany bound to the Baltic 2 Windfarm.
When approaching the sea canal, the ferry, coming from Trelleborg, was hit by the "Wind Express“ which had suffered rudder gear damage and was disabled until geting back under control with the aid of the emergency rudder.
However, the collision could not be avoided, and the hull was dented.
The "Mecklenburg-Vorpommern" suffered only scratches and was operating again at 9 a.m. The "Wind Express" returned to berth 34 in Rostock.
