Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Grande-Ellade

On May 26, 2017, at precisely 1:28 PM, the pilot aboard the vehicles carrier "Grande Ellade" reported an alarming engine failure while maneuvering from Esbjerg. This unexpected blackout caused the vessel to make contact with the seabed just off the port's edge. Following the incident, tugs were promptly summoned to assist in navigating the ship off the sandbank, which required the vessel to return to port for necessary inspections. After a thorough evaluation by the Danish Maritime Authority, the Grande Ellade was authorized to set sail once more. The ship departed Esbjerg on May 28 at 9 PM and made its way to Wallhamn, Sweden, arriving there on May 29 at 2:30 PM.
