Nina
The 85 meter long self-propelled barge Nina struck the Oude Ijssel bridge at Zutphen, Netherlands. When the barge went under the bridge, the wheelhouse struck the underside of the railroad bridge. The Nina’s wheelhouse was torn off disabling the vessel. Train traffic was halted until the bridge could be inspected for damage. Reports state the bridge was surveyed and train traffic continued an hour later. The Nina was taken to a quay in Eefde for further inspection. No reports of injuries or pollution released. Reports state the cause of the allision was due to a mechanical fault in the hydraulic system which controlled the wheelhouse height.
