On November 6, 2010, a maritime incident occurred in Valletta, Malta, involving the vessel 'Enko' (IMO number 8212324) colliding with the research ship 'Westerp Pride'. The accident took place as the 'Enko' was attempting to leave the port and experienced an engine failure during its reverse maneuver. As a result of the collision, the stern of the 'Westerp Pride' sustained notable damage, including dents and breaches above the waterline, highlighting the risks associated with operational mishaps in busy maritime areas.
