Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Jana

The vessel 'Jana' has officially resumed its journey after undergoing repairs following its collision with the 'Herm Kiepe' in the Kiel Canal. The necessary repairs were completed in Bremerhaven by September 5. On September 6, the 'Jana' set sail towards Hamburg and is currently navigating eastbound through the Kiel Canal once more.

On the afternoon of August 25, 2011, at precisely 2 p.m., the vessel 'Jana' set sail from Brunsbuettel-Ostermoor. During the journey, it was discovered that the rudder gear malfunctioned, providing incorrect data that prompted the helmsman to alter the ship's course to avert a potential grounding situation. Unfortunately, this decision led 'Jana' to cross paths with an incoming cargo ship, resulting in significant damage. The foreship's bulwark was dented, and the wheelhouse sustained severe damage, with several components torn away. Following this incident, 'Jana' made a brief stop at Cuxhaven Helgoland-Quay before continuing its journey. In the early morning hours of August 26, the ship arrived at Bremerhaven, successfully mooring at the fishing harbour at 8:30 a.m.

On August 24, 2011, at 4:00 PM, the cargo vessel 'Jana' experienced a rudder failure while navigating the Kiel Canal, specifically at kilometer 55.5, close to Schülp. In an unfortunate turn of events, 'Jana' collided with the container ship 'Herm Kiepe' near the Schachtholm airport. At the time of the incident, 'Jana' was not under the guidance of a pilot and was transporting 1,000 tons of biodiesel on its journey from Rostock to Brunsbüttel. Following the collision, 'Jana' sustained significant damage and was forced to dock at Brunsbüttel-Ostermoor, arriving at 8:50 PM on August 25. Meanwhile, the 'Herm Kiepe' sustained minor damages and proceeded to complete its route, reaching the container terminal in Aarhus by 10:30 AM on August 25.
