The Celtic-Commander: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

On March 6, 2020, at 4:10 p.m., the cargo vessel 'Ventura' encountered an unexpected engine failure while navigating the Kiel Canal in an eastbound direction. The ship was en route from Teesport to Klaipeda, with an estimated time of arrival set for March 8. Having departed the Brunsbüttel locks at 2:20 p.m., 'Ventura' faced an unfortunate halt in its journey. Responding swiftly, two tugboats, 'Felix' and 'Helmut', were dispatched from Brunsbüttel to assist the disabled vessel. They successfully towed 'Ventura' back to the canal port of Brunsbüttel, where it was securely moored at the railway station pilings, awaiting repairs. The vessel remained under detention while thorough repairs were undertaken, followed by a comprehensive class inspection conducted by the overseeing classification society. After successfully completing the necessary repairs and inspections, 'Ventura' resumed its voyage during the night of March 7, reaching the Kiel locks at precisely 12:30 a.m. on March 8. Following these developments, the ship's estimated arrival in Klaipeda was adjusted to March 9 at 8 p.m.

在12月25日，随着“文图拉”号货轮驶向卡萨布兰卡，基尔的消防部门又一次接到报警，东岸港的存储货物重新冒烟。海关官员注意到一堆储存的糖浆烟雾缭绕，随后立即采取行动，将其分开并扑灭了余烬。

In the early hours of December 19, 2023, the fire aboard the cargo vessel 'Ventura' was declared extinguished after a coordinated effort by more than 50 firefighters from Kiel, alongside volunteer firefighters from Dietrichsdorf and Elmschenhagen. The incident, which took place shortly before midnight, was managed by the ship accident command based in Cuxhaven. They opted for a strategic approach, tackling the blaze while the ship was docked in East Shore Port, Kiel. The 'Ventura' arrived at the quay around 9 p.m., accompanied by police boats 'Falshöft' and 'Neumühlen', as well as the tugboat 'Holtenau'. Firefighters used specialized equipment from Burmann Company to carefully unload cargo, allowing them to douse the smoldering pellets with water effectively. Fortunately, the vessel sustained minimal damage during the incident. Following the successful containment of the fire, the 'Ventura' departed from Kiel on December 21 at 10:40 p.m., continuing its journey towards Casablanca. It re-entered the Kiel Canal after reaching Brunsbüttel with an updated estimated time of arrival now set for December 28.
