Reviews & Ratings for the Baltic-Sailor

On May 11, 2026, the cargo vessel 'Baltic Sailor', while making its journey from Dordrecht to Gavle, experienced a technical malfunction at approximately 6:30 PM, off the western coast of Fehmarn Island (Lat. 54.6705, Lng. 11.0482). In response to the situation, the tugboat 'Fairplay 20' (IMO: 9112739) was dispatched to provide assistance. The tug successfully took the 'Baltic Sailor' in tow and navigated it toward the safe anchorage of Rostock's roadstead, arriving at coordinates 54° 14' N 011° 60' E. The following day, on May 12, additional tugboats including 'Fairplay 66' (IMO: 9036258), 'Fairplay XVII' (IMO: 8918590), and 'VB Baltic' (IMO: 8915471) joined the operation, arriving at 12:30 PM UTC. They worked together to maneuver the disabled vessel into Rostock Port for necessary repairs. The 'Baltic Sailor' was successfully moored at berth 46 in basin A of Rostock Seaport around 2:30 PM, and as of May 21, the ship remained stationary, awaiting further maintenance.

On November 30, 2025, the vessel 'Baltic Sailor' faced detention in Kalajoki as a result of a thorough inspection conducted by the Paris MoU authorities. Inspectors identified a total of six deficiencies on board, with two deemed critically serious, warranting the ship's detention. The first major concern was related to the emergency systems, specifically the emergency power supply and generator, which did not meet required standards. The second significant issue involved the overall condition of the electrical installations aboard the vessel. After addressing these deficiencies, the 'Baltic Sailor' was released on December 2 and subsequently set sail for Kokkola, arriving the same day. As of December 4, the vessel remains stationary in Kokkola's port waters.
