Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Csl-Elbe

On May 16, 2025, a ship was reported beached in the coastal region of Aliaga. This event has drawn attention in the maritime community, raising questions about the circumstances surrounding the beaching and its implications for local operations.

In the early hours of April 6, 2020, at approximately 1:15 a.m., the bulk carrier 'CSL Elbe' made contact with the pier of North Port in Stade-Bützfleth while navigating from Rafnes in a loaded state. The incident occurred as the vessel was attempting to dock under the guidance of a pilot, utilizing the support of tugboats positioned at both the bow and stern. Despite the assistance, the maneuver led to an unfortunate allision that resulted in damage to both the pier and the port side stern of the 'CSL Elbe'. Following the collision, the Stade water police initiated an investigation, leading to the detainment of the vessel post-berthing. After completing necessary procedures, the 'CSL Elbe' departed from the port around 6:30 p.m., setting a course for Jossingfjord, with an estimated arrival time of April 8.

In the early hours of March 23, 2011, the bulk carrier 'CSL Elbe' encountered a critical situation when a fuel pipe rupture left the vessel disabled near Nærøy Strait, just south of the bridge outside Rørvik. At approximately 1 a.m., the onboard pilot recognized the imminent risk of fire in the engine room, prompting the immediate shutdown of the main engine and the request for towing support. At the time, the 'CSL Elbe' was transporting a cargo of 9,000 tons of limestone from Lessremman and was en route to Elnesvågen. Emergency response was swift, with the rescue boat 'Harald V' and the coast guard vessel 'Njord' dispatched to the scene. The 'Harald V' successfully managed to stabilize the 'CSL Elbe' in position until around 2 a.m., subsequently maneuvering the vessel to safer waters while repairs were undertaken. By 4:30 a.m., the situation was under control. The 'Njord' remained on standby throughout the incident, ultimately escorting the 'CSL Elbe' to safety after dropping off the pilot at Grimma l/h. It is worth noting that the rescue boat 'Harald V' sustained minor damage to its starboard stern during the operation.
