Wilson-Mosel

In the evening of June 17, 2013, the "Wilson Mosel" allided with the quay of the industry port in Papenburg while about to leave the port bound for Rotterdam. The hull suffered a gash, and about 200 Liters diesel fuel spilt into the harbour basin. The fire brigade laid out an oil boom and thus contained the spill. The Police Emden launched an investigation against the Russian master and his 1st officer. They had to pay safety fines of 1000 Euro each due to the suspicion of endangering ship traffic and pollution of waters. Human error was thought to have caused the accident. The ship was allowed to leave the port on June 18 and sailed at 8 p.m. with an ETA Rotterdam of June 19, 2 a.m. Photos of ship leaving Papenburg: http://forum-schiff.de/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4946#p91712 Video of ship enroute Emden-Papenburg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITfS4gMBoUQ

The "Wilson Mosel" was pulled off in the foremidday of Dec 22, but was still at the grounding site and was formally detained until the Maritime Authority has approved it for further sailing. The plan was to pull the ship to the port of Odense to get it examined by divers. At 2.15 p.m. the ship left the Odense region and reached Vigerö at 10 p.m. It had on board a cargo of 1500 tons scrap metal bound for the company H.J. Hansen.

The "Wilson Mosel" ran aground on the night of Dec 22, 2011, off Lammesø Hage between Enebærodde and Lindø Terminal in the Odense Fjord ewnroute Porsgrunn-Odense. The SOK has sent the anti pollution vessel Marie Miljø to the grounding site in the Odense Fjord. There were no reports of oil spillsm and the the grounding occurred on sandy bottom in a very narrow passage leading into the Port of Odense. It was expected that an attempt would be made to pull off the cargo ship in the run of Dec 22.
