On August 2, a general cargo ship, Gibraltar-registered “Thorco Marjanne”, reportedly hit the concrete wall at the Port of Ogdensburg, New York in the early hours.
Officials said the ship was being operated by a ship pilot and not the captain when he apparently misjudged his approach and slammed into the wall, ripping out a small section of concrete and causing a small dent on the front bow.
No reports of injuries or damage to the environment has been reported from the incident. The vessel carrying wind components hit the concrete wall at the Port of Ogdensburg Tuesday morning.
Ogdensburg Bridge and Port Authority Executive Director Wade Davis estimated damages to the concrete wall at about $20,000.
