Reviews & Ratings for the Cilicia

On February 26, 2016, a maritime incident occurred involving the cargo ship 'Ivan Ryabov' and the tanker 'Ice Eagle' in the icy waters of the Kara Sea. Both vessels were navigating an ice convoy under the guidance of the icebreaker 'Yamal'. As the 'Ivan Ryabov' became immobilized in the ice, it issued a warning to the following 'Ice Eagle'. However, the tanker was unable to halt its progress in time, leading to a collision that struck the starboard side stern of the 'Ivan Ryabov'. The aftermath of the accident left the cargo ship with a bent poop deck, damaged railings, and a hull dent measuring 495x35x90 centimeters. Fortunately, the vessel's hull remained intact, ensuring that it was still seaworthy and capable of continuing its journey. By February 28 at 3 p.m., both ships had successfully navigated to ice-free waters. The 'Ivan Ryabov' set its course toward Arkhangelsk, while the 'Ice Eagle' headed for Murmansk, marking the resolution of the incident in the challenging Arctic conditions.
