What Crew Members Say About Rolldock-Sea

In a critical situation off the coast of Bermuda, the cargo vessel 'Rolldock Sea' altered its course to facilitate a medical evacuation for a crew member experiencing respiratory distress. This urgent call for assistance was made to the Bermuda Maritime Operations Centre on January 21, 2019, at approximately 10 p.m. The 39-year-old Filipino crew member required immediate care, prompting the ship, traveling from Port Everglades to Den Helder, to navigate towards the island. The vessel is scheduled to rendezvous with the pilot boat 'St David' on January 22 at 1:30 p.m., where the affected crew member will be safely transferred to the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital for further medical attention.

On the evening of August 8, 2018, at 9:35 p.m., the 'Rolldock Sea' encountered significant rudder problems shortly after departing the locks of the Kiel Canal in Brunsbüttel. The vessel, which was making its way from Cuxhaven to Sassnitz, was promptly instructed to dock at the navy pilings along the south shore of the canal port for immediate troubleshooting. The 'Rolldock Sea' successfully moored at 10:03 p.m. After addressing the mechanical issues, the ship resumed its journey on August 10 at 8:30 a.m., with a revised estimated time of arrival (ETA) at Sassnitz set for 1 p.m. on August 11.

In an impressive logistical feat, Europe Cargo has successfully delivered the river cruise vessel ROUSSE from Constanta Port in Romania to the bustling port of Antwerp. Weighing in at 1,400 tonnes, the ROUSSE was transported using the semi-sumergible ship Rolldock Sea. This magnificent vessel measures 113 meters in length, 16 meters in width, and has a height of 2 meters. According to Sanne Denessen from Europe Cargo, 'The river cruise vessel will be utilized by its owners, Rederij Le Formidable, for exciting party trips that will operate between Antwerp Port and Amsterdam Port, incorporating city tours and hotel stayovers.' Europe Cargo is also celebrating its membership in the Project Cargo Network, which recently unveiled a new 'Load Outs' bonus module on their eLearning platform, pcntraining.com. This innovative module focuses on essential roll-on, roll-off operations as well as providing guidance on stability and ballasting during these procedures for barges.
