Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Melusine

On the night of December 11, 2016, the cargo ship 'Melusine' encountered difficulties while navigating the harbor of Hirtshals, Denmark, due to severe wind conditions. At approximately 8:40 p.m., the strong gusts restricted the vessel's maneuverability, resulting in it being pushed into the ferry 'Superspeed 1'. The 'Melusine' became wedged against the ferry but was successfully brought under control with assistance from the local tugboat 'Tybring'. By 9:20 p.m., the vessel was safely berthed after the incident. Initial inspections revealed only minor damage to both vessels. At the time of the incident, the 'Superspeed 1' was transporting 240 vehicles along with 611 passengers, and fortunately, no injuries were reported. The ferry was able to depart from Hirtshals at approximately 9:45 p.m., heading towards Kristiansand, albeit with a delay of 30 minutes. The 'Melusine' set sail shortly after, around 11:20 p.m., on its route to Zeebrugge, with an estimated arrival time of 7 a.m. on December 13.
