The 79 meter long, 2972 dwt cargo vessel Marina went aground in Tokyo Bay at Kawasaki, Japan. The Marina had been at anchor when strong winds from Typhoon Trami caused the anchor to drag. Before the 12 crew on board could start the main engine, the Marina was blown ashore onto the breakwater.
The 12 crew were able to abandon ship and safely reached the shore without injury. Reports state the Marina sustained hull damage and some oil pollution had been released.
The 83 meter long self-propelled tanker-barge Marina had a head-on collision with another self-propelled barge allided with pilings on the Mittelland Canal near Kalkriese, Germany. The helmsman had lost control of the vessel after suffering a health problem. The Marina veered and struck the other vessel before alliding with a piling. Both vessels suffered damage with some oil pollution allowed to leak out into the canal. The helmsman was taken to hospital suffering several injuries. Reports state the damage will be over several thousands of euros.
