On March 17, 2018, at 10:30 a.m., the oil tanker Maersk Erin encountered a steam leak in its engine room while navigating at coordinates 50°21'28.8" N, 000°26'16.8" W. The incident was swiftly reported to the National Maritime Operations Centre of the British Coastguard. Shortly after, Solent Coastguard established communication with the vessel via VHF radio, confirming that the issue was resolved by 10:43 a.m. Following the successful repair, the Maersk Erin continued its journey from Primorsk to Lorient, ultimately anchoring off the port on March 18 at 7:00 p.m.

On November 14, 2016, a devastating incident occurred off the coast of Libya when an inflatable boat carrying 122 migrants capsized at approximately 6 a.m., resulting in the loss of four lives and leaving around a hundred individuals unaccounted for. The tanker 'Maersk Erin' played a critical role in the rescue efforts, successfully bringing 23 survivors aboard amidst treacherous sea conditions. By the afternoon of November 15, the survivors were safely transferred to the NGO vessel 'Aquarius', which is operated by SOS Méditerranée and Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). In the meantime, the 'Maersk Erin' docked at Al Zawiyah, providing a brief respite from the harrowing events at sea.
