On November 27, 2018, the cargo vessel Amstelborg, en route from Baie Comeau, encountered engine troubles, prompting it to anchor off the coast of Sept-Iles, Quebec. The vessel dropped anchor at coordinates 49°33'30" N and 67°11'12" W at approximately 12:45 a.m. to conduct necessary repairs.

On April 18, 2023, the general cargo vessel Amstelborg encountered significant damage while docked at the Gemlik port in Turkey's Marmara Sea region. The vessel sustained one or more holes in its hull, specifically in the area where fuel tanks are located. The incident is believed to have been caused by strong southern winds, which may have either compromised the mooring lines or caused the vessel to collide with the pier. As a result, approximately 25 to 30 tons of fuel spilled into the harbor. Cleanup operations are currently underway to address the environmental impact.
