Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Isaac-Mckinnon

On April 20, 2019, the cargo vessel 'Ronja Viking' encountered an underwater rock while navigating in the North Atlantic at coordinates 057 26 25.9 N, 007 12 25.7 W. This unfortunate incident resulted in the discovery of two significant holes on the ship's starboard side. Fortunately, the vessel remained stable and showed no signs of leaking, ensuring there was no environmental spill or notable listing. Following the incident, the 'Ronja Viking' was escorted by the support vessel 'Naomi Jennifer' to Troon, where it underwent necessary repairs at a dry dock. The ship successfully arrived in Troon on April 22 at 2:10 PM, ready for the repair process to restore its seaworthiness.

On December 10, 2016, the Islay RNLI all-weather lifeboat 'Helmut Schroder' from Dunlossit was dispatched to assist the 'Ronja Viking,' a fish carrier that encountered engine failure while drifting within the Sound of Islay, near Port Askaig. With seven crew members onboard, the lifeboat swiftly made its way to the distressed vessel. During the journey, the crew of the 'Ronja Viking' was able to communicate that the captain had reached out to the 'Ronja Commander,' a sister ship, to request a tow. However, it would take approximately thirty minutes for the 'Ronja Commander' to arrive, prompting the call for immediate lifeboat assistance to maintain the ship's position against the flood tide. Upon arrival, the lifeboat crew expertly secured a tow line to the 'Ronja Viking,' stabilizing the vessel in the sheltered waters of the Sound while they awaited the arrival of her sister ship. The captain of the disabled carrier aimed to reach Mallaig, where he could unload his cargo and carry out necessary repairs. Once the 'Ronja Commander' reached the scene, her crew worked in coordination with the lifeboat crew to transfer and secure the tow. With the 'Ronja Commander' now firmly attached to the 'Ronja Viking,' the 'Helmut Schroder' was able to disengage the line and return to station, having successfully delivered vital assistance during this maritime emergency.
