The cement carrier 'Nordanvik' is currently undergoing essential repairs at the port of Pargas. On April 5, the vessel was towed in by the tugs 'Ajax' and 'Iso-Pukki' after experiencing engine failure due to overheating. Prior to towing, the Maritime Incident Response Group had ensured the ship's safety. Originally, the 'Nordanvik' was scheduled to make a trip to Poland before commencing cement distribution from Finncements facility to various coastal towns in Finland. However, this timeline has now been disrupted. While the exact schedule for the 'Nordanvik's' repairs remains undetermined, cement transport continues uninterrupted thanks to the cement carrier 'Envik', which will fulfill the service originally planned for the 'Nordanvik'. Stay tuned for further updates.

On March 4, an engine overheating incident led to a critical situation for the freighter 'Nordanvik' off the Airisto coast near Turku. The vessel, which was en route to Parainen, experienced a significant engine failure shortly after the pilot had boarded. By the afternoon, smoke was detected in the engine room, prompting urgent action. The ship was subsequently towed out of the fairway to ensure safety. In response to the emergency, the SAR Center in Turku launched two helicopters from the Finnish Border Guard equipped with firefighting specialists and essential gear for both fire suppression and repair work.
