General cargo vessel MOSVIK developed a heavy list portside in Kiel Bay on July 14, on arrival from Riga Latvia with cargo of wood. Part of deck cargo went overboard, Kiel locks closed until all lost logs are recovered. Accident was caused by faulty ballasting – crew emptied ballast tanks in order to reduce draft, vessel lost stability while maneuvering.
