19 september 1964 - tugs AVOID UPSET SHIP AT VLAARDINGEN

Vlaardingen - Saturday eighteen (!) tugs in the harbor at the head Vlaardingen prevent an Italian grain ship sank. The ship was as before, probably due to a technical fault, collided with a Norwegian ore carrier. The Italian Orfeo made water and threatened to heel. The tugs have the ship when pushed to the side, and prevent the ship tilted. Unlikely, but successful cooperation.
