The vessel Phoenix J (IMO: 9504047) departed from Rauma on April 30 and successfully navigated westbound through the Kiel Canal on May 3. Its journey is set to conclude in Bremerhaven, where it is expected to arrive on May 4 for essential repairs at the renowned Bredo Yard (Bremerhavener Dockbetriebe).

The 'Phoenix J' has successfully regained its buoyancy, marking a significant milestone on April 22 at 4:15 p.m. The vessel was promptly towed to a designated safe anchorage where a team of divers conducted thorough inspections. Fortunately, no structural damage was detected, allowing the 'Phoenix J' to proceed towards Rauma port. By 5:50 p.m., the vessel was en route with an estimated time of arrival around 9 p.m. Thankfully, reports confirm that there has been no environmental impact during this incident. Plans are in place for the ship to enter dry dock on April 24 or 25, following the offloading of a portion of its cargo.
