A pusher vessel under the Czech flag sank, on Saturday, in the southeastern maritime port of Constanta, after colliding with a convoy of barges that was maneuvering, the five crew members being out of any danger, the Romanian Naval Authority (ANR) informed, through a press release.
The navigation accident took place on Saturday morning, at 5:35 a.m., in the Terminal Barje 5 berth of the Constanta maritime port, Agerpres informs.
"A pusher vessel under the flag of the Czech Republic collided with a convoy that was maneuvering. As a result of the impact, the Czech ship suffered a water hole on the port side. Three pushers were sent to assist and they operated with 4 pumps to evacuate the water, but despite the efforts at 7:10 a.m. the damaged thruster sank. The 5 crew members were saved and are out of any danger," the statement read.
According to the source, there are no traces of pollution, but as a safety measure an anti-pollution dam has been placed and the area will also be marked. At the same time, an advisory was issued to sailors regarding the danger of navigation in the area.
