In a notable incident on October 29, 2018, at approximately 4:20 a.m., two 20-foot containers unexpectedly fell into the cargo hold of the vessel 'Sven' while docked at Noatum Terminal in Malaga. This mishap occurred during the discharge operations, specifically within bay 18, row 04, tier 02 of the ship's hold. The root cause of this accident was attributed to a lapse in operational procedure by the Ship-to-Shore (STS) crane operator, who failed to switch the spreader mode to twin mode after successfully unloading 40-foot containers. This oversight led to the unfortunate incident, highlighting the critical importance of adhering to safety protocols during cargo handling.

In the early hours of February 6, 2023, the vessel 'Sven' (IMO: 9134139) encountered a significant incident at the port of Fredericia, Denmark. At approximately 00:30 a.m., the ship collided with the quay while attempting to berth, resulting in severe damage to its bulbous bow. Following the incident, the 'Sven' continued its journey to Aarhus on the same day. After securing a repair facility in Bremerhaven, the vessel set sail from Aarhus at 5:30 p.m. on February 6. The following day, on February 7, it transited the Kiel Canal without any cargo and arrived in Bremerhaven at 5:30 p.m. for repairs at the Bredo Yard.
