According to local news, on 5th July, an LNG bunker vessel (LNGBV) suffered a grounding in a storm off the Netherlands.
In particular, the 7,500-cbm Kairos (built 2018) got stuck on the canal embankment at the Averijhaven in Velsen-Noord near Amsterdam.
As informed, the ship had arrived in the Amerikahaven in Amsterdam from Ijmuiden that day and was heading back out to the North Sea.
Shortly after passing the locks at Ijmuiden, the Kairos went aground. Luckily, no pollution or injuries were reported.
When the Kairos came into service in 2019, it was the largest LNG bunkering ship in the world.
