SCHWABENSTEIN (inbound Rotterdam) and Norwegian BJORGHOLM, GT 11.732, built 1951 Eriksberg, (outbound Rotterdam) collided just outside the Nieuwe Waterweg on Thursday, 18 April 1957 around 17:30 in dense fog.
It took the Rotterdam Fire Brigade 4 hours to put out a chemical cargo fire which started after being in contact with water.
