On Nov 6, 2011, around 5 a.m. the "CMA CGM Jamaica" was in
collision with the Gibraltar-flagged tank m/v „Kösterberg“ on the Elbe.
The tanker suffered a gash in the hull causing water ingres in a ballast
water tank and subsequently a list. The casualty was secured at a quay
and dewatered. Next the cargo was to be lightered. The container vessel
suffered only minor damage and moored at the Athabaska Quay at 7.30 a.m.
The collision may have been caused by dense fog in spite of pilot's
assistance.
