The crew attempted to slow down the vessel by an emergency anchor, but it was not enough to stop the bow striking the pilings. The Carolin G sustained some dents while two pilings were destroyed. No reports of injuries, damage or pollution released. The Carolin G was allowed to proceed a few days later on its voyage to Swinoujscie.
