On June 11, 'Akacia' was en route to Bremerhaven and reached its first port of call post-repairs at Bol' Shaya Turu in St. Petersburg on June 14 at 4 p.m.

The boxship 'Akacia' completed an overnight transit from March 7 to 8 at the port of Rendsburg before continuing its journey under tow by the SFK tugboats 'Kiel' (IMO: 9405693) and 'Stein' (IMO: 9241243) to Hamburg.

On March 7, 2023, the vessel 'Akacia' embarked on a tow from Kiel to Hamburg, departing at 8:35 AM. The tugboats 'Kiel' (IMO: 9405693) and 'Stein' (IMO: 9241243) were instrumental in pulling the ship along its route. The journey began with the 'Akacia' being towed from the Voith Quay to Holtenau roads, where the vessel was turned around for its westward passage back into the canal. As 'Akacia' makes its way to Hamburg, with an estimated time of arrival at 11:45 PM, the immediate focus will be on unloading the container cargo on March 8. After the cargo is offloaded, a thorough inspection and assessment of damages will be conducted at a shipyard for necessary repairs. The original destination of the cargo was St. Petersburg, and alternative arrangements will be made to continue its journey eastward on other vessels.
