Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Expert

In an unfortunate incident, the container vessel 'Perseus' ran aground while navigating into Tórshavn, located in the picturesque Faroe Islands, on June 24, 2018, at 11 p.m. The ship encountered the newly constructed rubble mound breakwater as it was preparing to reverse into the harbor. Quick action was taken as the tugboat 'Samson' and the 'Brimil' from the Coastguard were dispatched to assist in refloating the stranded vessel. Their efforts proved successful in the early hours of June 25. After undergoing inspections, the 'Perseus' resumed its journey later that same day, departing Tórshavn to deliver cargo in Reykjavik, exhibiting no significant damage. The breakwater had been established following standard regulations and in coordination with the pertinent authorities.
