The 4,200 dwt unfinished vessel Arctic Dawn struck the Schellingwouder Bridge on the IJmeer near Amsterdam, Netherlands.  The Arctic Dawn was being pushed by the the 15 meter long tug Waterlelie when the top of the vessel struck the the bridge.  The bridge was shifted about one centimeter causing it not to close.  No reports of injuries or pollution released.  Traffic was diverted until the bridge could be lowered.  Reports state the bridge will require further repairs.  The Arctic Dawn was reported as not yet completed and was still under construction.
