Fd283-Trui-Uan-Hinte

The "Trui van Hinte", which had been seriously damaged by the heavy lift cargo m/v "Abis Esbjerg" on June 13 , has left the port of Harlingen again in the early morning of Sep 28 and headed towards the Northsea.

After the "Abis Esbjerg" slammed into the starboard side of the British trawler "Trui Uan Hinte - FD 283", the fishing vessel remained berthed in the Willems Port of Harlingen on June 15. It was expected the repair would be carried out at Shipdock within about eight weeks. The bulbous bow of the "Abis Esbjerg" punctured the fish hold on 2x2 meters and caused further breaches so that the hold was flooded. After the ship was stabilized with a leak sail from the barge "Cybernetica" which had gone alongside, divers patched the leak with a steel cover and two matrresses. The "Abis Esbjerg" only suffered scratches at the bow. It had been caught by a wind gust of 7 Bf inspite of tug assistance.

The brandnew heavy lift cargo m/v "Abis Esbjerg" slammed into the side of the "Trui Uan Hinte - FD 283 (IMO: 8816120), on June 13, 2015, which was moored in the Willems Port of Harlingen when the cargo ship arrived from Swinoujscie at 7.43 p.m. Various emergency services including the local KNRM and the fire rescue came into action. The bulbous bow of the "Abis Esbjerg" had torn a hole of approximately 2x1 meters and several cracks at the height of the fish-hold. The "Cybernetica" went alongside at starboard side. Employees of BDS and the volunteers of the KNRM and the fire department in a joint action were able to stabilize the situation with various pumps and seal off the hold. The leak was covered with a steel hatch and two mattresses. Tugs were pumping out the fuel from the ship. At the time of the accident there was no one aboard. It was not ruled out that the wind was to blame for the accident.
