Bump on the Rhine

ORAVA

The 110 meter long self-propelled barge La Mattanza collided with the 36 meter long towboat Orava on the Rhine River near Orsoy, Germany.  The Orava was departing from Orsoy with a barge loaded with cargo of coal when it struck the nearby La Mattanza.  Both vessels suffered some hull damage and water ingress.  No reports of injuries or pollution released.  Authorities  state the two vessels were allowed to continue as the on-board pumps had the water ingress under control.
