The Dsm-Liverpool: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

On the morning of September 24, 2018, the bulk carrier 'Star Grip' (IMO 9311050) broke free from its mooring at the pier in Brake, leading to an unexpected incident. The vessel collided with the berthed 'S Bronco,' which suffered minor damages including scratches and some grazed paint. Following this, 'S Bronco' was able to depart the port, setting sail for Port Canaveral at 5:15 PM, with an estimated time of arrival on October 9. After the initial mishap, 'Star Grip' drifted into the Weser fairway. The ship's crew successfully started the engine, managing to maintain control in the challenging conditions of current and wind. By midday, a pilot boarded the vessel, and tugs 'Bugsier 1' and 'Bugsier 6' were dispatched from Bremerhaven to assist. By 2 PM, the freighter was securely moored at the North Pier in Brake.

On January 25, 2018, a notable maritime incident occurred at 9:30 a.m. when the bulk carrier 'S-Bronco', which had departed from Studstrupværkets on January 13, collided with the icebreaker 'Mudyug' (IMO: 8009181) while navigating through an ice channel in the Gulf of Finland, near the St. Petersburg shoreline. The collision resulted in damages to the S-Bronco’s bow, located two meters above the waterline, although the icebreaker appeared unscathed. Following the incident, both vessels continued their journeys through the icy waters, and the S-Bronco successfully docked at Gutuevs Quay in St. Petersburg on the same day. Authorities are likely to review the circumstances surrounding the incident to enhance safety in the region's busy shipping lanes.
