Local newspaper JydskeVestkysten has stated that the total value of the direct and indirect costs of Wednesday’s mishap may be more than DKK1 billion (US$150 million).
Brave Tern is now under the custody of the Danish Maritime Authority as part of an investigation into the allision.
Brave Tern was involved in an earlier mishap when she accidentally struck a 25-tonne mobile quayside crane at a shipyard in Spain on November 23, 2024. The crane fell onto a nearby barge, though its cab and base remained above the water.
No injuries were reported in the 2024 allision.
