Rebecca-S Vessel Reviews and Specifications

On March 19, 2018, at 6:20 PM, the vessel 'Samba', while on its journey from Tananger to Rotterdam, experienced significant engine difficulties at coordinates 54° 12.6' N and 4° 46.21' E. Following this incident, the tugboat 'Amber II', registered under the Malta flag (IMO: 9425423), came to the rescue, commencing a tow on March 20. 'Samba' successfully arrived in Rotterdam harbor on March 21 at 8 PM. Additional support was provided by the tugs 'Rotterdam', 'Smart Barge', 'Smit Schelde', and 'Smit Seine', alongside the patrol boat 'RPA 15'. After receiving necessary assistance and repairs, 'Samba' set sail once more on March 26 at 2 AM, heading towards Maloy with an estimated time of arrival on March 28.

The 'Samba' has successfully completed its repair operations at the Mützelfeldt Yard in Cuxhaven. The vessel ran aground on December 8, 2014, while making its way from Aalesund to Husnes, specifically between Hovden and Gåsøy in Bremanger. After an intensive 20-day repair period, the ship was ready to resume its operations. At 6 p.m. on January 27, the 'Samba' shifted to America Port and set sail the following morning at 6 a.m. with its next destination being Rotterdam, where its estimated time of arrival is set for 5 p.m.

On December 8, 2014, the bulk carrier 'Samba' encountered trouble during its voyage from Aalesund to Husnes. The vessel ran aground on a shallow area between Hovden and Gåsøy in Bremanger, south of Kalvåg. With a crew of 16 on board, the situation escalated as the ship began to take on water in the foreship. Fortunately, the lifeboat 'Halfdan Grieg' and a tugboat quickly responded to assist the stranded vessel. The crew effectively managed to control the water ingress, and in a remarkable effort, the 'Samba' was able to free itself using its own means. Following the incident, the vessel safely proceeded to Florø, where it docked at approximately 10:20 p.m. After a brief stay, the 'Samba' departed the Fjord Base in Florø at 12:50 a.m. on December 11 and resumed its journey towards Rotterdam, with an estimated time of arrival set for December 13 at 4 p.m.
