On 5 December 2012, Baltic Ace collided with the Cyprus-registered container ship Corvus J in the North Sea while underway from Zeebrugge, Belgium, to Kotka, Finland with a cargo of about 1,400 Mitsubishi cars likely headed to the Russian market.[8] The incident took place some 40?50 kilometres (25?31 mi) off the Dutch coast south of Rotterdam on one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world at 18:15 GMT. According to a representative of the shipping company, the cause of the accident was likely a human error.[9][10]
After the collision, Baltic Ace began taking on water, capsized and sank within 15 minutes in shallow waters. According to the ship's manager, Corvus J likely hit Baltic Ace on the side, where void tanks forming a double side are only 1.3 metres (4.3 ft) wide,[4] quickly flooding the cargo decks.[11][12] Corvus J was severely damaged and her bulbous bow was bent,[13] but she was not in danger of sinking and participated in the search for survivors.
Forget molasses - get high tech on that rust!
