Middle edge channel released after ship accident - chaos in traffic!

Bohmte, Deutschland - The center edge channel between Bohmte and Kalkriese in the Osnabrück district has been released again after a ship's accident. Wie NDR berichtete, war der Kanal von Montag bis Dienstagabend aufgrund des Vorfalls gesperrt.

The accident occurred when a strong gust of storm caught a freighter on Monday, which then lost three lukewarm lids. The water protection police were able to mount the parts on Tuesday, and they were attached to the hull again before the canal was released. Due to the incident there were considerable waiting times in shipping traffic, and ships from Minden are reflected in the port near Bohmte.

Details of the incident

The salvage campaign of the lost Lukendeckel was successful, as the local authorities said. The incident and the subsequent blocking of the channel had direct effects on shipping in the region.

For more information about similar incidents, it is noteworthy that WDR has also reported on the ship accidents on the Mittelland Canal, which indicates a recurring problem in this waterway.
