The 82 meter long self-propelled barge Saeftinge allided with a bridge over the Dortmund-Ems Canal near Altenrheine, Germany. The unloaded Saeftinge was en route to Bergeshövede from Spelle  when it’s wheelhouse struck the bridge.  The wheelhouse was destroyed, but the bridge was undamaged.  No reports of injuries to the two crew on board.  The Saeftinge proceeded to a nearby quay for temporary repairs.
