Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Charm-C

The freighter 'Charm C' was detained in Bremerhaven on September 12, 2025, after inspections revealed several deficiencies. In a recent development on October 6, the vessel was shifted from Columbus Quay to a connecting port within the harbor. The 'Charm C' had embarked on its journey from Gothenburg on September 9, reaching Wilhelmshaven on September 11, before arriving at Bremerhaven the following day.

A significant incident occurred at the Wilhelmshaven container terminal on the afternoon of August 9, 2025, when five empty containers fell into the Jade River during the unloading process of the vessel 'Charm C' (IMO: 9314768). Fortunately, no injuries were reported. Due to the accident, port operations have been temporarily suspended while investigations unfold. Early findings suggest that a technical malfunction was the primary cause; specifically, two containers became partially jammed while being lifted, leading to several other containers tipping into the water. Emergency recovery efforts managed to retrieve two of the sunken containers on the same day. Meanwhile, three additional containers remain partially submerged near the shoreline, with recovery operations anticipated to extend until August 12. In the wake of this incident, a ban has been placed on sea-going vessels departing from the port until all containers are safely located. It's important to note that only the area within the container terminal at JadeWeserPort is impacted, and according to waterway authorities, shipping traffic along the Jade River remains unaffected. At this stage, there is no indication of water pollution resulting from the incident, and the 'Charm C' was reported undamaged. Authorities continue to monitor the situation closely to ensure maritime safety at the busy terminal.
