The 137 meter long freighter Fortunagracht suffered water ingress while moored at Antwerp, Belgium.  The freighter had suffered a leak in the cargo hold causing the vessel to list to port against the quay.    The local fire brigade along with two tugs assisted keeping the Fortunagracht while the crew made repairs.   Reports state a portion of the cargo had fallen into the hold piercing the hull.   No reports of injuries or pollution released.
