The 300-meter Maersk Kalmar and the half as big Conmar Avenue collided on Tuesday afternoon at the Weser estuary in Germany.
Six containers went overboard from Conmar Avenue, which also ran aground.
The Weser estuary was for a few hours blocked for navigation until the overboard containers were captured in the water and Conmar Avenue had been dragged off the sand bank with help from tugs.
Late Tuesday evening it was again opened to navigation for vessels.
None of the total of 41 crew members on the two vessels were hurt in the collision. A surveillance aircraft did not detect any oil spills from the collission.
The two ships both came back to dock in Bremerhaven, where they will be examined for damage and authorities will try to clarify the cause of the collision.
The container ship Conmar Avenue is of 13,000 dwt, built in 2012, sailing under the flag of Antigua and operated by Conmar SHIPPING GMBH.
The container ship Maersk Kalmar has a deadweight tonnage of 88,669, a capacity of 6,930 TEU, and was built in 1998. It is sailing under the Dutch flag and is operated by Maersk Line.
