Reviews & Ratings for the Caroline-S

The vintage coaster 'Caroline S' is set to commence trials on July 1, 2016, following a significant main engine failure. During a routine overhaul at the Petersen & Sørensen Motorværksted located in Svendborg, technicians discovered a critical issue with a crank bearing. The protective wear layer was completely destroyed, leading to metal flakes circulating within the engine system. Consequently, extensive cleaning of all components that had been in contact with the lubricating oil took approximately two weeks. Additionally, a bulkhead in the foreship did not meet the necessary standards imposed by the classification Society Bureau Veritas, which added further delays. The repairs in the floating dock at Petersen & Sørensen in Frederiksøen required over a week to complete. This unexpected series of repairs resulted in a substantial financial setback for 'Caroline S,' incurring a loss of 150,000 Danish crowns from disrupted fish transport operations between Haderslev and Musholm Bay.
