On April 25, 2010, the luxurious vessel Nahlin, with IMO number 1009417, made headlines when it generated waves reaching approximately 2.5 meters in height, leading to the unfortunate sinking of the smaller fishing vessel, Luca, stationed in Hamburg. The incident occurred off the coast of Wedel along the Elbe River at around 9:30 AM.

Initial damage assessments for the incident indicate a financial impact of around €3,500. The Nahlin, boasting a remarkable speed of 25 knots during its trials, was equipped with a new set of diesel engines after undergoing a substantial €60 million refurbishment at Nobiskrug Yard and Blohm & Voss. Authorities have confirmed that radar data will be utilized in the ongoing investigation to gain clarity on the events that transpired during this maritime test.
