On October 16, the Danish naval auxiliary vessel 'MHV Saboeteuren' (MMSI: 219000554) conducted an inspection of the grounded vessel 'Bornholm' and reported no indications of oil pollution. By the evening, efforts to refloat the ship were successful, and it was towed to the port of Randers for additional examinations. After thorough inspections, the 'Bornholm' departed from Randers and made its way to Nakskov, where it docked on October 18. The ship then departed again on October 19 at 10 a.m., setting sail toward Fredericia.

In a striking maritime incident, the bulk carrier 'Bornholm' found itself grounded in the Randers Fjord at the stroke of midnight on October 15, 2017. The vessel, laden with rocks, ran aground upon entering the fjord during a low tide. Despite hopes for recovery during high tide, the ship was unable to refloat unaided and required assistance from tugboats to dislodge it from the entrance of the narrow Kareholm canal. Fortunately, initial assessments indicated no oil spill from the vessel, ensuring minimal environmental impact. The 'Bornholm' had set sail from Hellvik, neighboring Egersund in Norway, after previously unloading cargo from Liepaja in Stavanger, and the salvage operations were scheduled to commence around 7-8 p.m., with plans to tow the vessel to Randers for thorough inspections.

On the morning of April 10, 2023, the tugboat 'Taucher O. Wulf 5,' dispatched from Mukran, successfully refloated the cargo vessel 'Eems Chrystal' within a mere two hours. By 9 a.m., the ship made its way to the port of Vierow, where divers conducted an inspection of the hull. Unfortunately, the salvage operation resulted in minor damage to the vessel, which also experienced a slight oil leak at the propeller shaft. In response to the situation, fire rescue teams from Anklam and Jarmen were deployed to the scene, establishing oil booms around the affected ship to contain the spill.
