Read Authentic Ratings for the Tollund

On July 13, 2026, the bulk carrier 'Tollund' faced detention at Tees, marking a significant event in maritime safety. The vessel was found to have 33 deficiencies, with six classified as severe enough to warrant its detention. Key issues included: structural concerns due to cracked bulkheads, outdated electronic navigation charts, malfunctioning UMS alarms, inoperative remote fire control in machinery spaces, inadequate crew training in fire safety protocols, and a failure to meet ISM certification standards. After addressing these critical deficiencies, the 'Tollund' was released from detention on August 1 and set sail towards Gdansk, with an estimated time of arrival on August 5.

In a significant maritime incident on January 23, 2015, at approximately 2:35 a.m., the bulk carrier 'Wilson Hamburg', traveling from Saint Malo to Szczecin, collided with the inward gate of the small Northern lock at the Kiel Canal in Brunsbüttel. The allision caused considerable damage, limiting the operation of both lock gates, which could only function during low tide thereafter. Following the accident, the vessel docked at the South Quay in Brunsbüttel and was allowed to set sail eastward at 4:20 p.m. The dense fog conditions at the time of the accident are believed to have contributed to this mishap, with preliminary assessments pointing to human error as the potential cause.
