According to an Associated Press report, a ro/ro ship capsized during loading in the Belgian port of Antwerp yesterday, putting a halt on shipping into and out of the Verrebroekdock.
London-based Grimaldi Lines’ ro/ro vessel, Republica di Genova, rolled onto its side in a dead end dock early in the morning and began taking on water. The crew was evacuated.
The reason for the incident is not yet clear.
Around 300 containers and cars were on board when the ship rolled over, several of which ended up between the capsized ship and the shore.
