Read Authentic Ratings for the Jia-De-Chang-He

In a recent maritime incident, the bulk carrier 'Jia De Chang He' encountered difficulties while navigating the Kiel Canal on February 20, 2025. At approximately 5:30 a.m., the vessel, which was ballasting en route from Aliaga to Tallinn, collided with the embankment at the Dückerswisch switch point. This occurred just an hour after the ship had exited the lock in Brunsbüttel. Reports indicate that the pilot had been dealing with rudder issues prior to the incident, prompting immediate action. The tugboat 'OSK Rendsbuerg' (IMO: 9755567) was deployed to assist in freeing the bulk carrier from the embankment. By 8:30 a.m., the 'Jia De Chang He' was successfully pulled back into the fairway. Following the incident, the ship was cleared to continue its journey towards Kiel, where it anchored at Holtenau for a thorough investigation. On February 21 at 1 a.m. UTC, the vessel resumed its voyage, with an estimated time of arrival in Tallinn set for February 22.
