The 105 meter long river passenger ship Hemingway collided with a barge on the Waal near Deest, Netherlands. The Hemingway had suffered rudder failure when it struck the cement laden barge. No reports of injuries to the 79 passengers or crew on board the Hemingway or those on the barge.  The Hemingway was later escorted to a shipyard in Dodewaard by authorities to conduct an investigation into the incident.
