What Crew Members Say About Annette

On June 30, 2018, the cargo vessel 'Annette' encountered trouble while maneuvering within the confines of Esbjerg Port, resulting in a grounding incident. Fortunately, there was no evidence of pollution from the vessel. In the aftermath, the Danish Maritime Authority launched an investigation to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the event. The ship's master faced repercussions, being fined for neglecting to report the situation adequately. Following the incident, the 'Annette' successfully docked at the FSG Shipyard in Flensburg on July 1 at 8:15 PM.

On January 1, 2017, a significant fire broke out aboard the cargo vessel MV Annette while navigating the Bosphorus Strait, specifically near Haydarpaşa. The ship was en route from Constanta, Romania to Rotterdam, Netherlands, carrying a general cargo and manned by a crew of 19. In response to the emergency, the Istanbul Vessel Traffic Service promptly dispatched two tugs, 'Kurtama 7' and 'Kurtama 8', along with the lifeboat 'Kiyi Emniyeti 4', to provide assistance. Thankfully, the disabled vessel was successfully taken under tow, secured, and anchored off Ahirkapı.

On August 26, 2016, the heavy load carrier 'Annette' faced a setback when it was denied clearance to transit the Kiel Canal. Authorities determined that the height of its deck cargo marginally exceeded the maximum allowable height of 40 meters, particularly while navigating through the Kiel-Holtenau locks. The vessel was transporting a mobile crane and spare parts for a wind farm, with its journey commencing from Rostock and destined for Bremerhaven. Following the clearance denial, the 'Annette' had to reverse out of the lock and reroute around Skagen. The ship ultimately reached Bremerhaven on August 28 at 8 a.m.
