The cargo vessel 'Arslan II', which faced challenges with her rudder near Arklow Bank in January 2014, is finally set to leave Dublin Port after a two-month dock stay. The ship, with a capacity of 260 TEU, is scheduled to sail to Tuzla on March 12. Initially, a single tug was dispatched to assist 'Arslan II' off Arklow Bank, and once the vessel reached Dublin Bay, an additional tug from Dublin Port Company joined the operation to guide her into port. In February, the vessel was moved into the No.2 dry-dock facility at Dublin Graving Docks Ltd. An investigation into the incident by the Marine Casualty Investigation Board (MCIB) is still ongoing. Recently, 'Arslan II' has vacated the dry-dock and moved to a nearby berth in Alexandra Basin, preparing for her upcoming departure.

In a notable maritime incident, a Chief Officer from Turkey has admitted guilt regarding the grounding of a vessel at Garroch Point along the picturesque southern coastline of the Isle of Bute. This event took place on July 2, 2012, while the ship was on its passage from Belfast to Greenock. At approximately 5 a.m., the ship ran aground, fortunately without any injuries or environmental pollution, as all ten crew members were reported safe. The vessel was successfully refloated by 9:30 a.m. on the same day and continued its journey to Greenock for assessment. Upon inspection by divers, significant damage was discovered, affecting roughly one third of the ship's length, including a ruptured fore peak tank. The Chief Officer, Necati Izmir, explained that he had left the bridge at around 3 a.m. for a restroom break and lacked recollection of the incident until he was found in his cabin by the second officer, who was sent to search for him. The ship's Captain, Bernd Radel from Germany, confirmed that Mr. Izmir was discovered sleeping in his quarters. In a ruling made by Sheriff Mrs. Anderson, the Chief Officer was fined a total of £5,000 for his actions related to this grounding event.
