What Crew Members Say About Baltic-Shark

On February 11, 2012, at 2:30 a.m., a maritime incident occurred in the Great Southern Lock of the Kiel Canal, located in Brunsbuettel. The Dutch cargo vessel, m/v 'Carolina' (IMO: 9382748), collided with another ship, the 'Finnlandia'. The 'Carolina', which was making its way from Emden to Norrkoeping, struck the stern of the 'Finnlandia' that was en route from Hamburg to Stockholm. Fortunately, the collision resulted in only minor damage to both vessels, with no injuries or spills reported. After conducting necessary inspections by local authorities at Kiel-Holtenau, both ships proceeded with their journeys. The 'Carolina' successfully docked at Norrkoeping on February 13 at 3:30 a.m., while the 'Finnlandia' reached its destination in Stockholm on February 12 at 6:40 p.m.

On the morning of January 4, 2012, the vessel Finnlandia experienced a significant incident as it lost its anchor along with the chain while positioned at the anchorage in Antwerp. Following this mishap, the ship successfully moored at the Waalse Quay later that day at 5:15 p.m. to conduct necessary surveys. This incident highlights the challenges maritime vessels may face during anchorage operations.
