Collision in Gulf of Finland
In the morning of Feb 25, 2018, the bulkcarrier 'Ourania', enroute from St. Petersburg
to Ashdod, was in collision with the 'Ostborg', which was enroute from Lomonosov to Tallin,
in the Gulf of Finland south of the Porvoo Kalbådagrund lighthouse
The Coast Guard of the Gulf of Finland received notification at 10 a.m.
The ship suffered a breach in the bow above the waterline but managed
to continue their journey without external assistance
No one was injured in the accident
Presumably, the ice has slowed down the other ship's speed so the 'Ourania'
ran into its stern
Neither ship had loaded dangerous goods and there was no environmental damage
A Dornier of the Coast Guard Dornier was monitoring the site,
also the 'Uisko' was deployed to the area
The 'Ostborg' headed to Tallinn after the accident
and dropped anchor on Feb 25 at 4.30 p.m. / Bron: Vesseltracker.com
