Container ship and car carrier collide off Denmark；Authorities Take Immediate Action

深夜！两艘大型货船相撞 丹麦当局直接扣留

Late at night on August 4, 2025, a collision occurred in the busy waters near Funen Island in the Danish Straits. A container ship with a capacity of 4,800 TEUs, owned by a global shipping giant, and a well-known car carrier collided in the Hatter Barn area near the entrance of the deep-water channel.

The accident caused structural damage to the parts of both ships above the waterline. Despite the visible damage, the Danish Maritime Authority (DMA) reported in its preliminary statement that there have been no reports of fuel or other pollutant spills, which is a crucially positive sign for the sensitive maritime environment. To thoroughly assess potential risks, a team of professional divers has been deployed to conduct a comprehensive underwater inspection of the two ships, checking for any hidden damage or structural integrity issues below the waterline.

2025年8月4日深夜，在丹尼斯海峡繁忙的菲英岛（Funen）附近水域，隶属于全球航运巨头旗下、运力达4800标箱(TEU) 的集装箱船，与知名汽车运输船在深水航道入口附近的哈特巴恩（Hatter Barn）区域发生碰撞。

事故导致两船船体水线以上部分均遭受结构性损伤。尽管损伤位置显著，丹麦海事局（Danish Maritime Authority）的初步通报指出，目前尚未收到任何燃油或其他污染物泄漏的报告，这对敏感海域环境而言是至关重要的积极信号。为彻底评估潜在风险，专业潜水员团队已部署到位，即将对两船进行水下部分的全面勘察，排查任何可能的隐藏损伤或水下船体结构完整性隐患。

Following the accident, the Danish maritime authorities swiftly took action, exercising their legal powers to formally detain both vessels until the cause of the accident is fully investigated. A team of experienced inspectors and technical experts, confirmed by the DMA spokesperson, worked overnight immediately after the accident to conduct an intensive on-site inspection of the visible damage on both ships, continuing their work into the early morning of August 5. Currently, the car carrier has been instructed to anchor in a safe area northwest of Sejerø, near the collision site, while the container ship has been moved to a designated anchorage north of Fynshoved, near the entrance to Kalundborg Fjord.

事故发生后，丹麦海事当局迅速采取行动，行使法定权力，对涉事两船实施了正式扣留令，直至事故原因彻底查明。海事局发言人确认，由资深检查官和技术专家组成的团队在事故发生后连夜行动，对两船的可见损伤进行了高强度现场勘查，工作持续至8月5日清晨。目前，汽车运输船被指令锚泊在塞耶岛西北方向、靠近碰撞点的安全水域待命；而集装箱船则被移至芬斯霍韦德以北、靠近科灵海峡（Kalundborg Fjord）入口处的指定锚地停泊。

Latest Ship Movements:

According to the latest data from the Automatic Identification System (AIS), the container ship departed from Wilhelmshaven, Germany, with Gdansk, Poland, as its destination port. It is flying the Singaporean flag and mainly operates on North European feeder routes. Currently located in the Baltic Sea, the ship is sailing towards its destination port, Gdansk, at a speed of 17.4 knots, with an estimated arrival time of 22:30 local time on August 7.

The car carrier, which departed from Emden, Germany, is currently being towed to the Lindø Shipyard in Denmark for repairs. Built in 2006, the ship has a carrying capacity of 6,500 vehicles. Its shipowner reported that the vessel is currently chartered by Volkswagen.

In this shipping collision incident, the container ship was heading to the Port of Gdansk. Gdansk Port is one of Poland’s largest ports and a significant shipping hub in the Baltic Sea region. It is not only an important cargo transshipment center in Poland but also holds a vital position in the European and global shipping networks. Let’s delve deeper into the unique appeal and significant value of Gdansk Port.

船舶最新动态：

根据船舶自动识别系统（AIS）更新的数据：该集装箱船从德国威廉港出发，目的港为波兰格但斯克港(Gdansk)，悬挂新加坡船旗，主要运营北欧支线航线。当前位于波罗的海海域，正以17.4节航速驶往目的港——波兰格但斯克港，预计抵达时间为8月7日22:30（当地时间）。

汽车运输船从德国埃姆登港出发，目前正在被拖往丹麦林多船厂进行修理。该船建于2006年，运载能力为6,500辆汽车。其船东称，该船正由大众汽车（Volkswagen）租用。

在这起船舶碰撞事故中，集装箱船正驶往波兰格但斯克港（Gdansk）。格但斯克港是波兰最大的港口之一，也是波罗的海地区的重要航运枢纽。它不仅是波兰重要的货物转运中心，还在欧洲乃至全球航运网络中占据着举足轻重的地位。接下来，让我们深入了解格但斯克港的独特魅力与重要价值。

Gdansk Port

The core competitiveness of Gdansk Port stems from its geographically advantageous location. The outer port area, situated directly in the waters of the Gulf of Gdansk, boasts deep-water terminal infrastructure capable of accommodating the world’s largest ships that pass through the Danish Straits. These ships can be up to 400 meters long, with a maximum draft of 15 meters, while the terminal waters have a depth of 17 meters. Among the more than 3,000 ships that call at Gdansk Port, the majority are single-entry vessels, known as charter entries.

However, shipowners whose vessels regularly call at our quays have the opportunity to receive appropriate discounts and sign agreements with Gdansk Port Authority S.A. (ZMPG S.A.) for long-term shipping connections. Regular shipping routes include Baltic and North Sea countries. The shipping network also covers North America, South America, Central America, and Asian countries.

格但斯克港(Gdansk)

格但斯克港的核心竞争力源于其得天独厚的地理区位。外港区直接坐落于格但斯克湾水域，拥有可接纳穿越丹麦海峡全球最大型船舶的深水码头基础设施。这些船舶长度可达400米，最大吃水深度可达15米，而码头水域的深度为17米。在驶往格但斯克港的3000多艘船舶中，单次入港的船舶数量最多，即所谓的包船入港。

然而，那些船舶定期停靠我们码头的船东，有机会获得适当的折扣，并与格但斯克港务局股份公司（ZMPG S.A.）签订关于长期航运连接的协议。定期航运线路包括波罗的海和北海国家。航运网络还覆盖了北美洲、南美洲、中美洲以及亚洲国家。

格但斯克港拥有现代化的基础设施，包括深水码头、滚装码头、内河码头、干散货码头和LNG码头等多个功能码头。近年来，港口不断进行现代化改造和扩张，投资于新的码头、仓库和设备，以满足不断增长的航运需求。

Port Operations - General Cargo

All general cargo can be loaded and unloaded at the inner port and the outer port (DCT).

Gdansk Port consists of 14 quays and 41 berths, offering a variety of freight and passenger services. They are mainly distributed in two areas. The first is the inner port, located along the Vistula River and the port channel, which includes terminals for containers, ferries, roll-on/roll-off services, and various bulk cargoes. The second area is the outer port, located in the Gulf of Gdansk, which includes specialized terminals for fuel, coal, liquefied petroleum gas, and ore, as well as the Baltic Hub Container Terminal.

Main Types of Cargo Handled:

Liquid fuels (51%), general cargo and timber (30.3%), coal (10.1%), other bulk cargo (4.5%), grain (3.7%), and ore (0.4%). In terms of rail transport usage, the types of cargo that occupy the most rail transport are: bulk cargo (51.14%), containers (48.56%), and automobiles (0.30%).

 港口业务——散杂货

在内港和外港(DCT)可以装卸所有杂货。

格但斯克港由 14 个码头和 41 个泊位组成，可提供各种货运和客运服务。它们主要分布在两个区域。第一个是内港，位于维斯瓦河和港口航道沿岸，包括集装箱、渡轮、滚装服务和各种散装货物的码头。第二个区域是外港，位于格但斯克湾，包括燃料、煤炭、液化石油气和矿石专用码头，以及波罗的海枢纽集装箱码头。

主要处理货物类型：

液体燃料（51%）、杂货和木材（30.3%）、煤炭（10.1%）、其他散货（4.5%）、谷物（3.7%）和矿石（0.4%）。与吨位相比，占用铁路运输最多的运输类型是：散货（51.14%）、集装箱（48.56%）、和汽车（0.30%）。

Sister Port Relations and Interconnectivity

The Port of Ningbo Zhoushan is Gdansk Port’s largest trading partner in China. Since the signing of the sister port agreement in 2006, the volume of cargo between the two ports has continued to grow, reaching approximately 350,000 TEUs by 2024. Currently, there are four direct shipping routes and two shuttle routes between the two ports. Gdansk Port joined the Ningbo Initiative for Port Cooperation along the Maritime Silk Road in 2016 and has always been an active member of this cooperation network.

As one of Europe’s top ten ports and Poland’s largest port, Gdansk Port is an important gateway to the fast-growing economic region of Central and Eastern Europe. With its natural advantages of a 17-meter deep-water channel, ice-free year-round, and no tidal influence, as well as its well-developed land transportation network, the port handled 2.25 million TEUs in 2024 and is expected to see a 17% increase in 2025.

It is worth noting that Chinese goods account for 60% of the total container throughput at Gdansk Port. Due to Gdansk Port’s shortest route, fastest delivery time, and most economical transportation costs between the final destinations in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and western Ukraine, it offers the lowest cost for shipments between China and the Far East. Many Chinese companies use this port as an important gateway to the Polish, Czech, Slovak, and other Central and Eastern European markets. Gdansk Port is also involved in the construction of the “National Single Window.” It is understood that the system will soon be launched, providing a single declaration entry point for all ships calling at Gdansk Port.

姊妹港情谊深厚 互联互通成效显著

宁波舟山港是格但斯克港在中国最大的贸易伙伴，自2006年签署姊妹港协议以来，两港的货量持续增长，截至2024年已达到约35万标准箱。目前，两港之间已开通四条直航航线及两条摆渡航线。格但斯克港2016年加入《海丝港口合作宁波倡议》，始终是该合作网络的活跃成员。

作为欧洲十大港口之一和波兰第一大港，格但斯克港是进入中东欧——这一欧洲经济快速增长区域的重要门户。其凭借17米深水航道、全年无冰期和无潮汐影响的天然优势，以及发达陆路交通网络，该港2024年集装箱吞吐量达225万标准箱，预计2025年将实现17%的增长。

值得注意的是，中国货物占格但斯克港集装箱总吞吐量的60%。由于格但斯克港在捷克、斯洛伐克、匈牙利部分地区和乌克兰西部等国家最终目的地之间拥有路程最短、时效最快、运输成本最经济的路线，因此往返中国和远东地区的成本最低。众多中国企业将该港作为开拓波兰、捷克、斯洛伐克等中东欧市场的重要门户。格但斯克港还参与了“国家单一窗口”建设。据了解，该系统即将启用，届时将为所有挂靠格但斯克港的船舶提供单一申报入口点。
