Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Dettifoss

On July 9, 2025, around 2 p.m. UTC, the containership 'Dettifoss' encountered a significant challenge while navigating the North Atlantic, approximately 390 nautical miles southwest of Iceland (Lat. 61.3867 Lng. -35.6133). The vessel, which was on its way from Reykjavik to Nuuk, experienced a main engine failure, rendering it disabled and adrift. Fortunately, the crew remained safe as the weather conditions in the area were relatively calm. The Iceland Coast Guard promptly responded, dispatching the patrol vessel 'Freyja' (IMO: 9455105) to assist. The 'Freyja' arrived at the stranded vessel on the night of July 10 and successfully towed the 'Dettifoss' back to Reykjavik, where it arrived on July 12 for necessary inspections and repairs. The 'Dettifoss' operates in partnership with Greenland’s Royal Arctic Line, facilitating shipping routes between Aarhus, Helsingborg, Bremerhaven, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, and Greenland. Eimskip will keep customers updated regarding the situation.
