Read Authentic Ratings for the Kapitan-Nazin

On February 7, 2019, at 10:25 PM, the trawler 'Kapitan Nazin' found itself in distress when its nets became ensnared around the steering gear and propeller while fishing near Rockall Bank in the North Atlantic. This incident resulted in the vessel losing power and drifting helplessly as the crew struggled to free the net. Fortunately, fellow Russian trawler 'Kapitan Demidenko' came to the rescue. At the time of the incident, the weather conditions posed an additional challenge, with northwest winds reaching up to 20 m/s and swells estimated at five meters. The 'Kapitan Demidenko' successfully took the 'Kapitan Nazin' in tow on February 9 at noon, steering it towards Castletownbere. The following day, February 10, the Irish tug 'Ocean Challenge' assumed towing responsibilities off the coast of Castletownbere, finally anchoring the 'Kapitan Nazin' at Castletownbere Roads at 8 PM.
