The Cma-Cgm-Alaska: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

On October 27, 2018, at 9:45 AM, the CROSS Jobourg received an urgent request regarding a 37-year-old Polish sailor aboard the container ship "CMA CGM Alaska." The vessel was located approximately 45 nautical miles west of Le Havre when the alarm was raised for a necessary medical consultation. In response, CROSS Jobourg coordinated swiftly with the Toulouse Maritime Medical Consultation Center (CCMM) and the maritime emergency service SAMU (SCMM), who recommended an immediate medical evacuation. A Dragon 76 helicopter from the civil security unit stationed in Le Havre was dispatched to the scene. After loading a specialized medical emergency team, the helicopter proceeded to the container ship, which was situated just 16 nautical miles from the port. The medical team prepared the sailor for evacuation, executed the hoisting procedure, and successfully transported him to Jacques Monod Hospital in Le Havre, where he arrived at 11:40 AM for further treatment.

On November 2nd, around noon, the containership CMA CGM Alaska was towed from Keppel Verolme shipyard in Botlek through the Caland Canal to its destination at ECT in the Amazone Port, Rotterdam. This relocation follows the successful completion of repairs stemming from a recent collision. The operation was aided by the powerful tugboats Fairplay I, Fairplay 13, Fairplay 23, and Fairplay 26.

On October 14, 2011, the container ship 'CMA CGM Alaska' successfully made its move to the Delta Terminal in Rotterdam. Following this transfer, on October 16, the vessel was towed out of Amazone Harbour by the tugs 'Fairplay 1', 'Fairplay 26', and 'Fairplay 27', where the majority of its cargo had already been discharged at ECT. This strategic maneuver was necessary to help raise the ship’s punctured hull. To complete its journey, the 'CMA CGM Alaska' utilized its own power to navigate through the Beeren Canal and the Maas River, eventually arriving at the Keppel Verolme Yard in Botlek, where it docked in Basin 2.
