Read Authentic Ratings for the Cic-Rolaco

The bulk carrier 'CIC Rolaco' has successfully concluded its repair works at the Steubenhöft in Cuxhaven after a lengthy two-month period. On May 21 at approximately 08:30 a.m., the vessel departed the port to conduct trials in the nearby German Bight. Following the successful completion of these trials, 'CIC Rolaco' is now en route to Portland, with an estimated time of arrival set for May 23.

On February 17, 2023, the cargo ship CIC Rolaco set sail from the bustling port of Hamburg. However, the journey took an unexpected turn the following day when the vessel encountered engine issues in the Elbe estuary (Latitude: 54.0748, Longitude: 8.0576) on February 18. As a precautionary measure, the freighter dropped anchor in the Outer Elbe roadstead. Fortunately, assistance arrived promptly, with the Otto Wulf tug and salvage shipping company from Cuxhaven providing vital supplies and food to the stricken ship. After remaining unloaded and waiting for resolution, the CIC Rolaco was finally taken in tow on the afternoon of March 4, with the tugs Wulf 10, Wulf 9, Wulf 5, and a Dutch tug assisting in the operation. The vessel was then successfully brought to the Steubenhöft in Cuxhaven, where it will undergo approximately two months of repairs before resuming its journey.
