On July 13, 2014, the 80 meter long self-propelled barge Corteo G allided with a railway bridge near Nijmegen, Netherlands on the Maas-Waal canal.  The Corteo G suffered hull damage and water ingress.  The crew requested assistance with the local fire bridge responding.  The fire bridgade was able to bring the flooding under control with pumps.  A boom was placed around the vessel as an oil sheen was spotted around the vessel.  Reports state the pollution came from the vessel’s engine room as it had suffered water ingress.  No reports of injuries.  Reports state there was concern the vessel stability as the Corteo G was fully laden with steel coils.
