Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Ronja-Superior

On January 13, 2019, maritime operations were interrupted when the fishing vessel 'Ronja Superior' experienced a grounding incident at the entrance of Mallaig. Following its grounding, the ship was successfully refloated and subsequently docked in the port to discharge its fish cargo. However, it wasn't until January 23 that Sølvtrans, the operator of the 'Ronja Superior', disclosed the incident. The vessel was towed to the Solund Yard in Sogn og Fjordane on January 14 for necessary repairs and annual maintenance, a full 11 days after the grounding occurred. Registered under the Norwegian Ordinary Ship Register (NOR), the 'Ronja Superior' has a mandated obligation to report such accidents to the Norwegian Maritime Directorate without delay. This incident presented a clear violation of that reporting duty, and the circumstances surrounding the delayed notification remain unclear. The shipping company is required to submit a detailed accident report to the Directorate, which is currently undertaking an inspection of the vessel. After completing repairs, the 'Ronja Superior' left Bergen on February 9, departing again on February 11, destined for Kyle of Lochalsh with an estimated time of arrival between 4 p.m. on February 13.
