Vessel crashes into North Sea wind turbine, injuring crew members
Vessel escorted back to Dutch port after two injured crew members were rescued by lifeboat
A service vessel has reportedly crashed into a North Sea wind turbine, injuring crew members onboard.
Although it did not specify what the incident was, media reports state the injuries occurred after the vessel crashed into a wind turbine off the Dutch coast.
It is presently unclear at which wind farm the incident occurred. KNRM and the vessel’s owner, Glomar Offshore, were approached for comment.
There were eight crew members on board when the incident occurred. One other crew member reportedly later checked themselves into a hospital after the vessel was brought to shore.
A photo published of the vessel at Den Helder shows it with a severely dented nose.
