Tanker Strikes Embankment

The 110 meter long tanker MTS Youri struck the embankment along the Noord River near the 982 kilometer mark.  The tanker was heading upstream when it approached a sharp bend in the river when it struck.   The KNRM responded sending a lifeboat to the scene.   Reports state the vessel was able to proceed to dock at a nearby wharf with the vessel’s bow full of mud.   There was poor visibility due to fog at the time of the incident.   No injuries or pollution was released.
