What Crew Members Say About One-Helsinki

In a turbulent journey, the cargo ship 'Helsinki Bridge' encountered rough seas, leading to several containers being dislodged from the stern. The vessel was on a route to the Port of Wilmington following its departure from Boston. This unfortunate incident occurred on February 27, just two days after setting sail from Boston, resulting in the ship arriving at Wilmington a week later than expected. The ship's arrival was recorded on March 6, 2019, when it navigated past the sea buoy around 6:30 a.m. before making its way to the Cape Fear River, where it successfully berthed at approximately 4 p.m. Upon arrival, the 'Helsinki Bridge' was permitted to unload the damaged or toppled containers at Wilmington, and the crew is expected to provide a detailed report on any missing cargo prior to departure.

The container vessel 'Helsinki Bridge' has successfully returned to its berth at Conley Terminal in South Boston on December 8 after breaking loose from its dock. The ship was guided back to the terminal shortly after 1 a.m. A team of divers hired by the Coast Guard conducted a thorough inspection of the ship's hull to ensure safety. Meanwhile, Coast Guard investigators are scrutinizing the mooring methods employed at the time of the incident. In addition, they are interviewing the crew, the docking pilot, and harbor workers as part of a comprehensive investigation. Authorities anticipate that it may take several weeks to finalize the report. The damage incurred at the Conley Terminal and Black Falcon Pier is estimated to exceed $500,000.

In a dramatic event on December 6, 2017, the container vessel 'Helsinki Bridge' became untethered from its moorings at the Paul W. Conley Container Terminal in South Boston. Around 12:45 a.m., authorities were alerted following the ship's escape, which resulted in the severing of all 12 mooring lines. At the time of the incident, ten crew members from Conley Terminal were present on the ship. Fortunately, the vessel only drifted approximately 300 feet before causing damage to the terminal's infrastructure at the end of the 88 Black Falcon Pier. Emergency responders promptly arrived, including the Coast Guard, Massachusetts State Police, Boston Police, and Massport Fire, to ensure the safety of the crew, who were evacuated from the vessel. A pilot boat subsequently led the 'Helsinki Bridge' to the Broad Sound, situated between Nahant and Winthrop, where further plans were made to tow the ship back to the terminal. The Coast Guard is currently investigating the situation, with strong winds possibly contributing to the incident.
