Reviews & Ratings for the Mv-Mumbai

On the evening of March 13, 2014, the cement carrier 'Cembay' encountered significant difficulties while docked at the Norcem quay in Kjøpsvik. The vessel's mooring ropes failed under the intense pressure of stormy winds, which reached gusts of up to 25 m/sec. Fortunately, by early morning on March 14, the situation was stabilized as 'Cembay' was successfully towed away from the quay and into safer waters. In response to the emergency, divers were deployed to inspect the ship's hull for any damage. Local authorities acted swiftly; the police issued warnings to Tysfjord and advised preparedness for any potential incidents. The fire department stood ready with oil containment equipment should the situation escalate. Additionally, three tugs from Narvik, Harstad, and Sortland, along with a pilot from Bodø, were dispatched to assist amid the continued harsh weather conditions, characterized by strong winds and high waves. Compounding the challenges, another vessel, the 'UBC Cartageno,' also broke free from its moorings. At the time, one of the cement carriers had completed unloading while the other was partially loaded, with both vessels scheduled to depart Kjøpsvik once weather conditions improved on March 14.
