On March 29, 2013, the tanker 'Orakota' found itself stranded in Nexo Harbour while laden with mink feed. The vessel had intended to sail to Aabenraa but encountered challenges leaving the port due to unexpectedly low tide conditions. Stationed at the Gas Quay, the 'Orakota' patiently waited for the water levels to rise. After a strenuous two-hour effort to maneuver the ship clear of the dock towards the harbor's entrance, the crew was ultimately compelled to turn back. The ship's captain reassured that the vessel had not made contact with the ocean floor; however, it was clear that the water depth was critically equivalent to the ship's draft, placing it dangerously close to bottoming out.
