On January 14, 2020, the cargo vessel 'Pemba' experienced a significant loss of deck cargo due to severe weather conditions, encountering wave heights surpassing six meters and wind gusts reaching up to 140 miles per hour. This incident occurred off the notorious Costa da Morte in the Galician region after the vessel's fastenings failed while it sailed near the Cíes Islands. The 'Pemba' was on a journey from Ceuta to Szczecin when eight steel construction pontoons were dislodged and fell overboard, posing a potential hazard to vessels navigating the area. Thankfully, two of these pontoons were successfully retrieved by local fishing boats 'Caprichosa' and 'Villa de Argote', hailing from Laxe, while a third was collected near Camariñas. By January 17, recovery efforts led to the successful retrieval of the remaining five pontoons, described as floating tanks measuring approximately 9 to 12 meters in length, 3 meters in width, and 2 meters in height, which were intended for construction projects. Three of the pontoons were located at Langosteira Point, with two more ending up on rocky outcrops, including one at Santa Mariña in Camariñas. Despite the 'Pemba' promptly reporting the loss to Salvamento Marítimo, recovery operations were hampered until weather conditions improved. A surveillance aircraft was deployed to assist in locating the cargo, and by the afternoon of January 17, all pontoons were successfully recovered with the help of Salvamento Marítimo. The vessel 'Pemba' docked at Vigo's Muelle de Tranversal on January 14 at 9 p.m. to secure the remaining cargo and assess any damage it sustained. The ship departed again on January 23 at 3:15 p.m., resuming its course to Szczecin, with an estimated arrival on January 29.

On June 28, 2016, at precisely 8:45 p.m., the freighter Pemba encountered a serious incident while navigating in Den Helder. The vessel struck the Nieuwediep Quay, inflicting substantial damage due to a technical malfunction. The Pemba, which had originated from Haifa, narrowly avoided a collision with the oil rig Paragon but unfortunately collided with the quay despite executing an emergency anchoring maneuver. Following the incident, a tugboat was deployed to secure the Pemba and guide it along the quay to safety at Ankerpark. Inspectors noted significant damage to the ship's bulbous bow. In response to this maritime mishap, the local port authority has initiated a thorough investigation to determine the causes and extent of the damages.
