Bf-Philipp Vessel Reviews and Specifications

On June 25, 2019, a vessel that had been arrested following a tragic accident at the port of Ancona, Italy, was released and set sail at 16:30. The incident occurred on June 10 when a 34-year-old clerk working for a port agency was struck by a mooring line while standing on the quay, resulting in fatal injuries. The ship was docked pending investigations by local authorities into the circumstances surrounding the incident.

A tragic accident occurred on June 10, 2019, in Ancona, where a dock worker lost his life following an incident involving a snapped mooring line. The unfortunate event took place at the ASE Terminal as the vessel 'BF Philipp' was arriving from Trieste and maneuvering to its designated berth. The victim, a 34-year-old clerk from a port agency, was on the quay when a mooring line broke, resulting in a fatal whiplash injury. Authorities have taken the vessel into custody as investigations are underway. Fortunately, there have been no reports of damages to the vessel during this incident.

On the morning of March 13, 2019, at 7:30 a.m., the container vessel 'BF Philipp' (IMO: 9123324), arriving from Ancona, was involved in a collision with the tug 'Eduardo Junior' (IMO: 9289350), which was securely moored at the quay in Ravenna. As the ship navigated through the curve at Marina di Ravenna, it struck the tug on the port side with its bulbous bow, resulting in a significant rupture of a diesel fuel tank and a subsequent diesel spill into the water. In response to the incident, the harbour master's office swiftly activated the emergency response protocol. Nautical service personnel, alongside tugs, moorers, and pilots, efficiently secured the container ship and initiated recovery operations. Oil booms were deployed around the affected tug to contain the spill. Following the incident, the 'BF Philipp' was towed to the Ravenna Container Terminal to mitigate further hazards. The ship departed the terminal on the evening of March 14 at 9:10 p.m., heading toward Trieste, where it docked at the New Free Port Pier 7 Container Terminal as scheduled at 6:30 a.m. on March 15. Meanwhile, the damaged 'Eduardo Junior' was transported to the Rosetto Marino SpA Yard San Vitale in Ravenna on March 15 for necessary repairs.
