Reviews & Ratings for the Msc-Arushi-R

On October 17, 2018, the container vessel 'MSC Arushi R' encountered significant engine troubles while navigating the Wester Scheldt, specifically near Hansweert. The incident occurred just after the ship had departed from Antwerp around midday, causing it to drift across the fairway in a perpendicular position. A fleet of tugs, including 'Bravo', 'Multratug 28', 'Multratug 29', 'Union Panda', 'Union Emerald', and 'Union 6', were swiftly dispatched to provide assistance. Initially, 'Bravo', 'Multratug 28', and 'Multratug 29' arrived first on the scene but were quickly released as the assistance of 'Union 6' and 'Union Panda' was accepted. Following the ship's anchoring, 'Union Emerald' joined the operation to help the crew stabilize the situation. By 6:15 p.m., the 'MSC Arushi R' had successfully resolved its engine issues, regained speed, and set course for Wilhelmshaven, with an estimated time of arrival on October 18. It continued to be escorted by 'RWS 78' from Rijkswaterstaat and the tugs 'Union 6' and 'Union Emerald' for an extended period.
