Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Maestro

On the morning of October 16, 2018, the freighter "Maestro," fully loaded with reels of cable, experienced a blackout while navigating its way to a berth in St. Louis du Rhône. This unfortunate malfunction led to a serious incident where the vessel collided with seven boats and yachts in the marina. The aftermath was devastating; one 10-meter yacht succumbed to the damage and sank. In total, three individuals were thrown into the water, sustaining minor injuries, while one person required hospitalization. A swift response was mounted, with 30 firefighters from Marseille and Bouches-du-Rhône deployed along with 14 emergency vehicles, including two boats and several divers. The SDIS 13 and the Maritime Police also played crucial roles in managing the situation. The pier suffered significant damage, and the "Maestro" itself was left with noticeable dents on its portside bow. With the assistance of tugs from the Grand Port Maritime de Marseille, the freighter was successfully berthed at 8:45 a.m. Recovery efforts for debris continued as firefighters worked to mitigate the aftermath of this maritime incident.
