Read Authentic Ratings for the Amadeus-Ruby

In the early hours of April 9, 2026, around 4 a.m., the cargo vessel 'Amadeus Ruby' found itself grounded east of Årø in the Little Belt while making its way from Antwerp to Kolding. Local authorities, including police and volunteers from the Assens Sea Rescue Service, quickly mobilized to assess the situation aboard the vessel. Concerns about potential environmental impact prompted the environmental protection ship 'Marie Miljø' to remain on standby in the Port of Assens starting April 13, in case of an oil spill incident. After an anxious wait, on the night of April 14, the stranded ship was successfully pulled free thanks to the efforts of tugs 'Hunter' (IMO: 9468372) and 'OSK Rendsburg' (IMO: 9755567), which was dispatched from Kiel, and was safely towed to its destination port by approximately 6 a.m. By 11 a.m., the 'Amadeus Ruby' had docked at the South Quay, where the Danish Maritime Authority detained the vessel for a comprehensive diving inspection. Fortunately, the examination revealed no leaks or environmental contamination.
