The Danish coaster 'Frem Nordica' sprung a leak on Tursday while it was
in the German waters during a voyage from Amsterdam to Aarhus
Large amounts of water entered the ship through a leak in the bow
The water intrusion drew the stern down, but the crew managed to get 'Frem Nordica'
to safety in the German port city of Cuxhaven, before the dangerous situation
developed into a shipwreck
In the harbor lay the bunker vessel 'Herta' ready and by using its powerful pumps it quickly succeeded in pumping the water - about 25 cubic meters - out of the Danish coaster
The German Wasserschutzpolizei are investigating 'Frem Nordica' to find the cause of the leak
Maritime Denmark spoke with the ship's captain on Friday
"I have the authorities on board right now, so I must just wait,"
he stated by telephone from Cuxhaven
Nor the ship's charter Baltica Shipping, can provide more information on the situation
"The phones chime right now. We will return if we have something to say",
said Baltica Shipping, based in Hundested
'Frem Nordica' is owned by the company Frem in Dronninglund
The 79 meter long coaster, built in Holland in 1986 and has a tonnage of 1,601 DWT,
is the company's only ship
