Working Conditions Aboard the Mirjam

On January 12, 2011, the vessel 'Aja' experienced a significant operational issue while docked at Kotka. The ship, which was carrying a hefty load of limestone, encountered an unexpected influx of water ballast that flooded its cargo hold. This unfortunate incident led to a chemical reaction between the limestone and the water, resulting in the production of substantial smoke. Thankfully, the local Rescue Department swiftly intervened and managed to contain the situation effectively. Following the incident, it became necessary to empty the cargo hold and safely dispose of the reacted lime to ensure safety in the port area. As the situation stabilized, traffic restrictions within the port were lifted, and the 'Aja' resumed its journey, setting sail from Kotka towards Uusikaupunki with an estimated time of arrival on January 13 at 4 p.m.
