What Crew Members Say About Rix-Pacific

The 'Rix Pacific' has successfully completed repairs to its collision damage at the Stocznia Yard, located in Gdynia. These crucial repairs were finalized on March 21. Following the completion of the maintenance work, the vessel moved to an anchorage area off the port. At 2:40 p.m., the ship departed, setting its course for Riga, with an estimated time of arrival on March 24.

The vessel Rix Pacific was spotted in Hamburg on March 6 with noticeable damage to its bulwark on the foreship, following a collision incident prior to that date. The ship was in the process of shifting from Dradenau Port to Kaiser-Wilhelm-Port when the damage was identified. Fortunately, the impact did not compromise the ship's seaworthiness. On March 9, the Rix Pacific successfully transited the Kiel Canal, making its way from Hamburg to Gdynia. The ship reached its destination on March 10 and is currently docked at Stocznia Gdynia, Wegierskie.

In a dramatic maritime incident on February 2, 2013, at approximately 1 a.m., the cargo vessel 'Neptun' experienced a critical engine failure while drifting southwest of Borkum. The 'Neptun' had set sail from the Emder Werft und Dockbetriebe at 7 p.m. the previous evening when it succumbed to the powerful tide currents. The situation prompted a swift response from the lifeboat 'Hannes Glogner' dispatched from the DGzRS station in Borkum. Fortunately, the crew aboard 'Neptun' managed to restart their engine before the lifeboat could reach them. Following the successful restart, the cargo ship continued its journey back to Emden, escorted by tugboats. The vessel safely docked at Ems Quay on February 2 at 11:30 p.m. Before concluding its maintenance period, 'Neptun' returned to the Emder Dockyard on February 4, around midday.
