What Crew Members Say About Janis

On March 27, 2019, at approximately 3:00 PM, the bulk carrier 'Oslo Fjord', arriving from Saraykar, experienced a navigational mishap resulting in it veering off course on the Oude Maas river adjacent to Barendrecht. The vessel ran aground along the riverbank in the area known as the bight of Heerjansdam, partially obstructing the waterway. In response, Rijkswaterstaat deployed a vessel to oversee the traffic, ensuring that other ships navigated through the constricted zone safely. By 6:00 PM, salvage tugs from Muller, based in Dordrecht, arrived on the scene and successfully towed 'Oslo Fjord' back into navigable waters. Later that evening, by 7:00 PM, the ship was docked securely at its berth in the Dordrecht seaport. The 'Oslo Fjord' was cleared to continue its journey on March 30, departing at 6:10 PM with a course set for Raahe, Finland, and an estimated arrival time of April 3 at 9:00 PM.
