On the afternoon of August 16, the 80 meter long self-propelled barge Anna (MMSI: 261182657) allided on the Hunte River near Oldenburg, Germany. The Anna struck a railway bridge between Oldenburg and Bremen with its wheelhouse. The Anna sustained severe damage to its wheelhouse, but no one was injured from the incident.

Authorities halted traffic on the bridge until it could be fully surveyed. An inspection found only minor paint scrapes was the limit of the damage to the bridge. Traffic on the bridge was restored 2 hours later. Reports state the incident was most likely due to the master of the Anna misjudged the clearance and had not lowered the wheelhouse enough to pass safely under the bridge. The water police has launched as an investigation into the incident.
