Willem Jr. Pumped Out

Willem Jr. Pumped Out

The 23 meter long inland tug Willem Jr. became disabled when it suffered water ingress on the Waal near Druten, Netherlands.  The tug suffered a leak near the propeller shaft which flooded the engine room.   An inland tanker towed the Willem Jr. to a quay where a dewatering pump could keep the Willem Jr. afloat.  After the engine room was pumped out, the water ingress was brought under control.
