Clara Vessel Reviews and Specifications

On February 19, 2026, at approximately 7 p.m. UTC, the freighter 'Clara' experienced engine issues while navigating through the German Bight, on its route from Aveiro to Szczecin. The incident occurred north of Norderney, at coordinates 53.9150° N, 7.2283° E. Faced with the challenge of securing a suitable emergency berth, the crew opted for the tide-free environment of Wilhelmshaven's inner harbor. To facilitate the tow, the tugboats 'VB Bremen' (IMO 9211212) and 'VB Berne' (IMO 8500422) were deployed. They successfully towed the 'Clara' to the Northwest Quay in Wilhelmshaven, where the vessel remained under repair as of February 23.
