On December 17, 2017, the vessel 'Manuela E' encountered engine difficulties while navigating near Estrecho shortly after departing from Gibraltar. Following the incident, the cargo ship was towed to Algeciras on the same day to ensure safety and assessment. After careful consideration, it was decided that 'Manuela E' would be transported to Cadiz for essential engine repairs, with its arrival date set for December 30. Currently, discussions are underway to evaluate which repair company will be entrusted with the critical task of fixing the main engine, a process expected to span roughly one month. The maritime community is closely monitoring the situation as 'Manuela E' prepares for its much-needed restoration.

On December 17, 2017, the cargo ship "Manuela E" faced engine failure off the coast of Estrecho after departing from Gibraltar at approximately 4 a.m. The ship found itself adrift, about 2.5 miles from Punta Acebuche in Algeciras, prompting a request for assistance. The Spanish coastguard's Search and Rescue (SAR) vessel, "Salvamar Arcturus" (MMSI: 225986507), was dispatched from Tarifa to provide aid. Initially, "Salvamar Arcturus" succeeded in halting the ship’s drift by taking it in tow. The operation was later enhanced by transferring the tow to the larger salvage tug, "Luz de Mar" (IMO: 9320104), which effectively brought the distressed vessel to the Algeciras port. The "Manuela E" was successfully berthed at 12:30 p.m. Following necessary repairs, the ship set sail again on December 21 at 5 p.m. en route to Cadiz, with an estimated arrival date of December 31.
