The Oratuulia: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

The repair operations for the vessels 'FT Foce' and 'Happy Eagle' are officially underway at the Port of Algeciras, as both ships arrived at the facility recently. The LPG tanker 'FT Foce' docked at the Isla Verde Exterior pier adjacent to the Total Terminal International Algeciras S.A.U. on November 7 at 3 p.m. to initiate necessary repairs following an incident. This incident occurred on December 4 when the 'FT Foce', while in ballast, experienced an engine failure and collided with the starboard side stern of the 'Happy Eagle', which was moored at Alfau pier and preparing to depart from the Ceuta enclave. Following the collision, both vessels remained anchored in the waters of this Autonomous City, with the 'FT Foce' specifically anchored in Getares Bay. A detailed report can be found in a Spanish article with accompanying imagery hosted at El Estrecho Digital.

In a maritime incident that occurred on December 4, 2016, at 7:30 a.m., the 'FT Foce' collided with the moored LPG tanker 'Happy Eagle' while departing from her berth at the Alfau Wharf in Ceuta. The mishap was attributed to an engine failure that led to the loss of control of the 'FT Foce'. Following the collision, both vessels became entangled, but initial assessments revealed no severe damage. The 'FT Foce' sustained damage to its bow, while the 'Happy Eagle' experienced dents and damaged railings on its starboard side. Efforts to separate the two ships commenced shortly thereafter, with representatives from the classification societies of both vessels investigating the extent of the damage. To facilitate this, both ships remained docked at Alfau Wharf during the investigation process.
