In the port of Antwerp, the "Condor Valparaiso", coming from Hamburg, stopped too late and allided with a gate of the Boudewijn lock at the south side of the canal dock in the morning of June 18, 2018. The lock was temporarily out of use. A diver was sent for surveys, who found a dent in the lock 3 under the waterline. A replacement gate was then taken into use, so that the lock could be used again for shipping at 10 a.m. The ship was not damaged and could continue sailing.
