A collision between the 69-meter tanker Capella and the 44-meter offshore supply ship Coastal Legend occurred in Cuxhaven port, spilling 6,000 liters of oil into the water. Emergency response teams, including the Federal Agency for Technical Relief, are actively working to contain the spill with oil booms. Fortunately, crew members aboard both vessels were unharmed, and shipping activities on the Elbe River remain unaffected. Environmental groups have raised concerns about the potential repercussions of such spills on local marine life and ecosystems.
