On September 28, the 80 meter long self-propelled barge The Wave suffered water ingress on the Ems River while berthed in the port of Haren-Emmeln, Germany. The witness spotted The Wave in a near sinking state and alerted the local fire rescue.  The fire brigade started to dewater the vessel with pumps. Booms were placed around the barge to contain any pollution released. No reports of injuries.  Divers inspected the hull, but were unable to find the leak. Eventually, the leak was discovered near the propeller.  The Wave’s cargo of 1000 tons of wheat was unloaded and a company was hired to repair the leak.
