Hogeland Vessel Reviews and Specifications

On the afternoon of December 13, the cargo vessel 'Karine W' encountered a precarious situation as it developed a significant list while maneuvering in the Breitling, located off the coast of Rostock. The 'Karine W,' which had just loaded two heavy machines from Caterpillar, experienced a dangerous tilt of approximately 25-30 degrees after the cargo shifted during its turn away from the berth. Immediate assistance was requested, and a tugboat was swiftly dispatched to the scene. To stabilize the vessel, ballast water was taken onboard, effectively returning the ship to an even keel once it was safely back at the quay. A crane was then utilized to reposition the misaligned machinery. Following a thorough inspection to assess any potential damage, 'Karine W' was cleared to continue its journey. The vessel set sail for Peters Yard in Wewelsfleth on the afternoon of December 14, with an investigation into the incident already underway. After a safe passage, the ship arrived at Wewelsfleth on December 16.
