The "De Waterlelie" (EU-No.: 2315214), allided with the old Ijssel-Bridge in Zutphen on June 28, 2012, at 4.45 p.m. The bridge construction was severely damaged by the 17-m-tug which left the scene without reporting at once. Parts of the tail were torn and pilings destroyed. Rijkswaterstaat was informed about the damage only some time later by a passer-by. Before the bridge could be used again,an emergency repair had to be performed. In the morning of 29.6. the works were in full swing. The demolished tail was pulled from the water for this purpose.
