Baltic Fin
On October 3, the 89.75 meter long, 3809 dwt cargo vessel Baltic Fin (IMO: 9953925) allided with dolphins outside the Kiel Canal at Brunsbüttel, Germany. The Baltic Fin was on a voyage from Almeria to Rostock when it suffered engine problems and resulting power blackout. The cargo vessel went adrift and struck several dolphins resulting in minor hull damage. Reports state several dolphins were broken and floating in the harbour. A tug later towed the Baltic Fin through the locks to a berth in Brunsbüttel. The vessel will undergo inspection for damage. No reports of injuries or pollution released.
