On the afternoon of November 21, the 24 meter long fishing vessel Hai 4 (MMSI: 211228840) sank in the Ems-Jade Canal near the Wiesbadenbrücke in Wilhelmshaven, Germany. Reports state nearby residents heard a loud bang as the mooring lines of the Hai 4 broke as the vessel sunk to the bottom of canal. The local fire brigade deployed booms around the Hai 4 to contain oil and fuel pollution that has leaked out. The pollution is being pumped from the surface to prevent it spreading further.

Authorities state the vessel had been unmanned and moored for sometime before it sank. The Hai 4 had been monitored by authorities and had planned an inspection before the vessel sank. Currently, there is a search to find who is the current owner who will be held liable for the costs from the incident.  The port authority stated a crane will be needed to lift and remove the fishing vessel from the canal.

The Hai 4 was built in 1943 as a fishing trawler.  The vessel had been used to carry passengers up to 2022 when the vessel was sold to its current owners.
