On July 4, 2018, at approximately 2 p.m., the cargo vessel 'Raba' experienced a grounding shortly after departing from the port of Liepaja. The incident occurred near the southern breakwater, as the ship veered out of its designated fairway for reasons that remain unclear. Fortunately, there were no reported leaks or significant damages to the ship. Efforts to refloat the vessel involved the deployment of four Latvian tugs: 'Tak 1' (IMO: 7403196), 'Tak 5' (IMO: 7237262), 'Tak 7' (IMO: 9166534), and 'Namejs'. Despite three hours of attempts, the tugs were unable to successfully dislodge the 'Raba'. By the morning of July 5, the vessel was still immobilized, located at coordinates 56° 31.87' N and 020° 56.61' E, indicating that lightering operations would be necessary to free the ship.
