The Wilson Caen loaded with 2,824 tons of Abfällen from Napoli, Italy bound for Loviisa, Finland.  As the vessel approached the lock, the rudder failed and the Wilson Caen struck the bank fortification.  The cargo vessel sustained a visible large scrape (about 11 meters in length) while a dolphin was smashed in front of the mole. There was no reports of injuries or pollution released.
