The 87 meter long, 3269 dwt freighter Wilson Dover allided with the lock wall and gate on the Ijmuiden at Papenburg, Germany.   The freighter was a bit impatient and proceeded to exit the lock before the lock gates had opened.   The vessel attempted to slow down but hit the lock wall before hitting the lock gate.   The vessel suffered dents in the bow along with scrapes against the hull.   The lock gate was slightly bent from the incident.  No reports of injuries or pollution released.
