Discover the Angelica: Ratings & Maritime News

A vessel will soon undergo a transformation as it prepares to be rechristened 'Angelica Express' under the Panamanian flag. This shift not only marks a new name for the ship but also adds another entry to Panama's expanding maritime registry. For those interested in visual updates, photos of the vessel can be viewed at the following link: http://www.forum-schiff.de/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=55#p110069.

On July 6, 2023, the cargo vessel 'Mia B', which had recently run aground, was successfully refloated and escorted back to its homeport in Frederiksværk for an investigation into potential hull damage. The incident occurred on July 5, when attempts by a tugboat to rescue the ship from the sand and mud flats were unsuccessful. Following this, a dredging vessel was engaged to create a trench around the ship, allowing a larger tug to finally free the vessel, which safely arrived at the port around 8 p.m. Authorities from Police Nordsjælland dispatched a boat from Hundested to interrogate the Mia B's captain for possible intoxication. Although he passed the sobriety check, he faced charges due to a delay in notifying the authorities of the grounding, waiting an hour to report the emergency. The Marinehjemmeværnet (Danish Home Guard) deployed the 'MHV 905 Askø' at 8:35 p.m. after receiving the alert. For more details, see the full Danish report with an accompanying photo at [link].

On July 4, 2014, the cargo vessel 'Mia B' encountered a significant technical malfunction, resulting in her running aground in Roskilde Fjord, approximately one mile from Frederiksværk at around 5 p.m. The ship, which was transporting steel plates from Dan Steel in Frederiksværk to Norway, became immobilized after hitting an obstruction that hindered its maneuverability. A vessel from the Danish Naval Home Guard conducted an inspection of the stranded ship, which was lodged in sandy and muddy shallows.
