Container ship drifted collides with a crane in Antwerp’s Waasland harbor, Belgium

The Waaslandhaven is the part of the port of Antwerp that is located on the left bank of the Scheldt. And there a ship had drifted on Monday afternoon and collided with a crane. The boat was stronger than the crane and the crane then collapsed. Fortunately there were no injuries, but the damage is enormous. The 328-meter-long container ship sailed between Hamburg and Antwerp and arrived in the port of Antwerp just before 11 a.m. on Monday. The “APL Mexico City” moored at quay 1740 of container terminal PSA, but at 1.45 pm the lines broke loose due to bad weather conditions. And what happened then can be seen in this video
