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

In a dramatic turn of events on September 28, 2023, two stowaways were discovered aboard the CMA CGM Jamaica after the vessel docked at the Zandvliet lock in Antwerp. The fire brigade was called upon by federal police to assist in the safe extraction of the two individuals, who had reportedly been hiding in the rudder compartment of the container ship for approximately twelve days. The CMA CGM Jamaica, which had departed from Lagos on September 15, made its way to Antwerp before the stowaways made their appearance. Following the vessel's arrival, the fire brigade quickly mobilized its diving team to facilitate the operation. Once securely removed from the ship, the two men were transported by ambulance to a nearby nursing station for medical evaluation.

In the early hours of November 6, 2011, at approximately 5 a.m., a maritime incident occurred on the Elbe River when the container vessel CMA CGM Jamaica collided with the Gibraltar-flagged tanker m/v Kösterberg. The accident left the tanker with significant damage, specifically a gash in its hull, leading to water infiltration in one of its ballast water tanks and causing it to list precariously. Following the collision, emergency measures were swiftly implemented. The Kösterberg was secured at a quay where dewatering operations commenced to stabilize the vessel. Subsequently, the cargo was lightered to ensure the ship's safety and seaworthiness. On the other hand, the CMA CGM Jamaica sustained only minor damages from the impact. By 7:30 a.m., it successfully moored at Athabaska Quay. Preliminary investigations suggest that the thick fog conditions, even with pilot assistance, contributed to the unfortunate incident. After ensuring the container ship was in a safe condition, it continued its journey, setting sail for Antwerp later that same evening.
