In a maritime incident on February 18, 2013, at 5 a.m., the French fishing trawler "L'Eclipse," hailing from Trouville, collided with the tanker "Chantaco" as it navigated from St. Nazaire to Le Havre in the Bay of Seine, near Cape Hève. The 11-meter trawler was actively fishing with a crew of three when it encountered the tanker in the anchorage zone of Le Havre, approximately ten miles west of the busy port. Fortunately, "L'Eclipse" managed to make its way back to Port en Bessin for necessary repairs. Although the crew experienced shock due to the incident, they were unharmed. Meanwhile, the "Chantaco," transporting 17,000 tons of fuel oil, sustained only minor scratches on its port side and emerged with limited damage. Throughout the situation, Cross Jobourg maintained regular communication with the fishing vessel to ensure safety as it returned to dock.

On the morning of November 9, 2010, the bulk carrier 'Chantaco' (IMO: 9333802) encountered trouble while navigating from Riga and ran aground northeast of Hävringe. The incident occurred after the ship, which was en route to Oxelösund, experienced a breach in two ballast water tanks, causing it to list 5 degrees to starboard. While a pilot was onboard at the time, the vessel had been anchored in the area overnight but dragged anchor, leading it to drift aground — all while still visible from Oxelösund. Fortunately, there were no reported spills from the grounding.
