Gibdock (Gibraltar) recently repaired the three-year-old multipurpose general cargo/container vessel Ems, owned by Werse Schiffahrts (Munster, Germany), after a collision damaged the vessel. The 94-meter-long, 5,500 deadweight tonnage Ems had been alongside the port of Montril, near Almeria, Spain, when the vessel was struck by the bulbous bow of the ferry Ace 2, which had broken free from its moorings. Ems was effectively sandwiched between the Ace 2 and the quay wall and in the process suffered significant damage to both its port and starboard sides.
