On May 28, 2012, the general cargo ship Kirsten encountered trouble when it ran aground in the vicinity of Mikelbaka, located in the Ventspils area of the Baltic Sea, Latvia. The Latvian Coast Guard promptly reported the incident. Fortunately, the vessel was able to refloat itself without external assistance. However, authorities are investigating potential misconduct, suspecting that either a crew member or the officer on the bridge may have been under the influence of alcohol at the time of the grounding. A subsequent survey of the Kirsten confirmed that there were no damages incurred during the incident. As of May 26, the vessel has been securely moored in Mersrags, positioned within Riga Bay.
