Salmo Hits Quay
The 92 meter long, 3225 dwt freighter Salmo struck the quay while trying to berth at Brake, Germany. The Salmo’s hull was a small gash which allowed oil to leak out. The crew was able to recover most of the oil, but 100 liters were released into the lower Weser River. The Quay suffered some damage to several pilings. The master was fined 1000 euros and the vessel has been detained in port during the investigation. No reports of injuries.
