Ole Willassen, a Norwegian ship that sank dangerously over the weekend and barely sank off Dange, finally managed to get most of the water out and stabilize its position. It is not yet clear how the three holes appeared on its side.
Klaipeda Mayor Vytautas Grublimas announced the good news on his Facebook account and reported that three holes had been found in the side of the ship.
Alvydas Butkus, director of the Klaipedos Pilies uostas company, was not inclined to consider the cause of the incident and was skeptical about the damage to the mooring loops installed on the dock itself.
“As far as I know, the water was constantly going into the boat before, the water was constantly being pumped. If there were any additional violations, I find it difficult to comment. The mooring rings are above the water level and can only go through the freeboard. But will the ship chase it? After all, the water does not reach this place. The rings are designed to tie the ship, the water does not rise so high that the rings are under the water. I rejected this version, it does not make sense. boat “Trout” has been with him for many years and none of that is happening. All the more because they use bunks, protection between the side of the boat and the berth, “explained A. Butkus.
The Klaip Klada Castle Harbormaster admitted that at night, when the ship began to be thrown into the water, there was a splash, the ship moved a lot.
The Norwegian ship is old, made of wood, although recently repaired.
What happened to the Norwegian ship is not an everyday occurrence. Probably this year another ship was sinking in the fishing port at the other end of town. But no more.
Yesterday, the powerful pumps were still placed next to the ship and constantly pumping the incoming water.
When sailing to the pier, shipowners should ask Klaipedos Pilies Uostas for permission. In addition, they should coordinate this work with the Maritime Safety Administration to allow their docking.
Perhaps the ship’s repair could reveal who made three holes in its board.
“Imagine driving a boat down the harbor street, it would be serious business. The distance to our pier may not be very great, but permission must be given, “said A. Butkus.

The ship is registered in Norway, authorized representatives act in Klaipeda on its behalf, asking the castle harbor employees not to provide their names and contacts.
The good thing is that when the boat leaned into the river, no oil spilled into the river. The Bonn and absorbent barriers would have trapped contaminants, but this time they remained clean.
