On November 6, 2017, at approximately 8 a.m., the cargo ship 'Amira Eman' encountered a significant issue when it suffered an engine failure while navigating through the Dardanelles Strait, heading eastbound from Volos to Bandirma. Following the incident, the vessel was secured at the Kepez anchorage. Despite the option for external assistance, the captain opted to decline help, as the crew worked diligently to rectify the engine malfunction independently. By November 7, the repairs were successful, allowing the 'Amira Eman' to resume its voyage.

On the evening of April 20, the cargo vessel 'Amira Eman', loaded with over 4,500 tonnes of steel products destined for San Giorgio di Nogaro's mills, experienced a grounding incident while navigating the Corno River waterway leading to Porto Nogaro, Udine. The ship, which has a draft of less than six meters, had just released its tug boat and was on its course to Alexandria when it ran aground in the estuary of Porto Buso (Grado). The Monfalcone Port Master's Office, in conjunction with the Maritime District Office of Porto Nogar, coordinated the response efforts. The Grado Maritime Bureau dispatched the patrol boat 'Cp 846' to oversee the refloating operations. Fortunately, the tug 'Val' was successful in assisting the 'Amira Eman', which faced no damage to its hull nor injuries to the crew. After approximately two hours of intensive work, the ship was cleared to continue its journey, with an estimated time of arrival (ETA) in Alexandria on April 24.
