Willem Jr. Pumped Out
The 23 meter long inland tug Willem Jr. became disabled when it suffered water ingress on the Waal near Druten, Netherlands. The tug suffered a leak near the propeller shaft which flooded the engine room. An inland tanker towed the Willem Jr. to a quay where a dewatering pump could keep the Willem Jr. afloat. After the engine room was pumped out, the water ingress was brought under control.
