Hafnia-Sea Ship Details and Seafarer Feedback

In the aftermath of a fire that broke out on the 'Hafnia Seaways,' damage has been evaluated at approximately €100,000. The incident has significantly impacted the port side cabins and corridors, which suffered destruction and toxic smoke damage. Lloyd Yard in Bremerhaven has been tasked with executing the necessary repairs, expected to be completed by November 8. While the vessel remains docked at Steubenhöft in Cuxhaven, the onboard crew has returned and will actively participate in the repair operations.

On the afternoon of October 20, DFDS revealed the results of investigations regarding the cargo involved in the recent fire on the Hafnia Seaways. Fortunately, studies confirmed that the fire, which ignited on October 19 at 7 p.m., did not damage any of the goods on board. In response to the situation, DFDS promptly dispatched the Ark Futura, another of their ro/ro ships, from its location at Luebberrt Quay in Cuxhaven, to transfer the cargo from the affected vessel. The timeline for the reinstatement of Hafnia Seaways into service remains uncertain, as crew members initiated investigative procedures aboard the ship once the damaged area was sufficiently cooled and properly ventilated. Updates are expected as investigations continue.

On October 20 at 00:22 a.m., the 'Hafnia Seaways' successfully docked at the Europe Quay in Cuxhaven following a fire incident. Thankfully, all members on board were accounted for and evacuated. While the fire brigade conducted a thorough fire watch to ensure safety, six individuals—including four passengers and two crew members—were treated for minor smoke inhalation at the local hospital. In addition, a psychosocial emergency response team boarded the ferry to provide support to those affected. By 1:30 a.m., the accident command concluded their operations and released all maritime response units.
