On May 4, 2017, at 3.45 p.m. the leisure boat "Renate" suffered engine failure when leaving the locks of the Kiel Canal in Kiel-Holtenau. Due to the strong wind the boat drifted towards the cargo m/v "Barbarossa" (IMO-No.: 9197765), the crew of which tried to pass a rope to the "Renate". The boat drifted away again and slammed against the bow of the "Walther Herwig III", which was underway towards the Baltic Sea coming from Bremerhaven. A sailing yacht which had already left the lock, turned around and managed to pull the "Renate" free and out of the lock towards the Tiessen Quay at 4.05 p.m.
