Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Rusich-1

On January 6, 2014, the cargo vessel "Rusich 1" narrowly avoided a potential grounding incident near Lisbon due to the severe conditions brought on by winter storm Hercules in the North Atlantic. The ship's anchor was compromised, leading it to drift dangerously close to the shore. Fortunately, just in the nick of time, the crew activated the engines, allowing the ship to regain a safe distance from the coast. The "Rusich 1" subsequently made its way to the Barreiro terminal, successfully docking at 6:40 p.m. This vessel, which had set sail from Severnaya Verf Shipyard in St. Petersburg on December 14, 2013, faced a formidable challenge but emerged unscathed.
