Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Hs-Wisdom

The vessel 'H&S Wisdom' has officially begun its repair journey in Dordrecht after experiencing grounding damage. After departing from Guiness on April 3, the ship made its way to Rotterdam, arriving on April 4. Subsequently, on April 7, 'H&S Wisdom' was relocated to the Shipyard Kooiman Hoebee BV in Dordrecht, where it is set to undergo permanent repairs to address the damages incurred during the incident.

On March 15, 2025, at approximately 7 p.m. GMT, the cargo vessel 'H&S Wisdom' was successfully refloated after extensive lightering operations conducted by the Dutch salvage experts, Hebo Maritiemservice. Remarkably, this operation took place about two weeks ahead of schedule, aided by the lead tug 'Ella F' (IMO: 9813498). The vessel had grounded outside of the designated shipping lane during high tide on March 2, necessitating immediate action to recover its cargo. To facilitate the lightering process, cranes were deployed to offload a significant portion of the ship's steel cargo. Since March 13, Humber Rescue has been instrumental in transporting surveyors to and from the vessel, ensuring that safety protocols were maintained during the recovery efforts. When the tide came in, the 'H&S Wisdom' refloated on its own without any additional assistance. Following its successful refloating, the vessel was safely towed into Kingston upon Hull, where it berthed at King George Dock around 9 p.m. UTC.

In a strategic maneuver, Hebo, a maritime service provider based in Zwartsluis, has begun unloading cargo from the 'H&S Wisdom' to facilitate its lightering process. After conducting detailed bottom mapping, Hebo carefully positioned a pontoon adjacent to the stranded vessel, enabling the efficient transfer of approximately 700 tons of steel cargo. This significant operation, which commenced two days ago, is anticipated to take an additional six days to complete. The 'H&S Wisdom' encountered difficulties on the evening of March 2, navigating the Humber at one of the year's peak water levels. Consequently, the ship found itself stranded outside the designated shipping channel, with hopes for refloating only tied to similar high tide conditions expected to occur at the end of this month. Should these tidal circumstances not materialize, the ship's refloating could be postponed until October. By lightening the vessel's load, Hebo has notably improved the likelihood of the 'H&S Wisdom' being successfully refloated within the coming weeks.
