Read Authentic Ratings for the Rix-Lagoon

On February 25, 2020, the freighter 'Rix Lagoon' found itself adrift in the turbulent waters of the Baltic Sea while traveling from Rendsburg to Kaliningrad. The incident occurred around midday after the vessel left the Kiel Canal locks at 9:25 a.m., headed eastward and eventually drifting northwest off the shores of Fehmarn island. At 1 p.m., the emergency tug 'Bülk', based in Kiel, was deployed to assist the stranded freighter, successfully reaching it shortly thereafter. By evening, the 'Rix Lagoon' had anchored off Fehmarn, located at coordinates 54° 35.53' N 010° 59.75' E, where it was monitored by the anti-pollution vessel 'Scharhörn'. The following day, February 26, the issues affecting the vessel were resolved, allowing it to resume its journey toward Kaliningrad. By the morning of February 27, the ‘Rix Lagoon’ had reached its destination, dropping anchor at position 54° 39.35' N 019° 48.63' E, awaiting clearance to enter the port of Kaliningrad.

On November 12, 2016, at 11 p.m., a notable maritime incident unfolded in the Saint-Georges Canal, situated between the British coastline and Ireland. The cargo vessel 'Georgios Alexios' collided with the fishing boat 'Antaeus - GV.711864', weighing 129 gt. The fishing vessel, which had departed from Saint-Guénolé (Finistère) on November 7, found itself perilously close to capsizing due to the force of the impact when the cargo ship struck its stern. Fortunately, the five-member crew aboard the 'Antaeus' sustained no injuries. Following the collision, the damaged fishing vessel successfully navigated back to Douarnenez under its own propulsion, arriving shortly before midnight. Meanwhile, the 'Georgios Alexios' resumed its journey from Drogheda to Antwerp, with an estimated time of arrival set for November 15. Given that the incident occurred within the British responsibility zone, both British and French maritime authorities have initiated an investigation into the matter.
