Atlantis Ship Details and Seafarer Feedback

On July 27, 2013, an incident occurred at the Tiessen Quay in Kiel-Holtenau, where the passenger ferry 'Schilksee' allided with the Dutch charter sailing vessel 'Atlantis' (IMO: 8333635). This mishap took place at 12:20 p.m. when a sudden gust of wind caused the 'Schilksee' to drift while leaving the quay during a harbor round trip. As it veered off course, the starboard smokestack of the ferry became entangled with the bowsprit of the moored 'Atlantis'. Although the sailing vessel was at risk of sustaining damage during the incident, the situation necessitated cutting off a portion of the 'Schilksee's' smokestack for it to break free from the 'Atlantis'. Following the allision, crews worked overnight on July 29 to weld a new plate onto the smokestack, allowing the 'Schilksee' to return to service promptly. This unfortunate collision highlights the vulnerabilities faced by maritime vessels in adverse weather conditions.

On July 23, 2011, the three-masted vessel 'Atlantis' encountered a maritime mishap when it ran aground in the Lindal Strait, located in Stockholm. The ship remained stranded until it was successfully refloated on July 24. Reports indicate that the crew may have miscalculated their navigation, attempting to transit on the incorrect side of the nearby lighthouse. Following the incident, the 'Atlantis' made its way to Kappelshamn, where it docked on July 27, before continuing its journey to Visby.
