What Crew Members Say About Mia-Sophie-b

On April 28, 2018, at 1:50 PM, the cargo vessel 'Mia Sophie B' encountered a loss of steering control when it severed its rudder while navigating the waters of Ireland. The ship was transporting 2,217 metric tonnes of limestone from Galway when the incident occurred at the coordinates 53°59'00" N and 10°23'54" W. In response, the tugboat 'Strahfoyle' swiftly took the 'Mia Sophie B' under tow and initiated a course towards Clyde Port for essential repairs. To ensure effective communication, a schedule was established for updates every four hours, with the Belfast Coastguard actively monitoring the tow through AIS tracking. The journey concluded successfully on May 2 at 4:40 PM, as the 'Mia Sophie B' safely arrived at Glasgow Clydebank for maintenance.
