Authorities in the Netherlands are investigating a collision involving an MSC containership and a DFDS roll-on/roll-off cargo ship over the weekend.
The incident occurred Saturday morning off Vlissingen, Netherlands when the 270-meter MSC Madrid struck the port side of the Ro-Ro Primula Seaways as the containership sailed for Antwerp, Belgium.
Both ships were damaged in the incident but no pollution has been reported.
