Following the incident, a thorough technical inspection and repair of the impacted loading arms were conducted on May 30, ensuring the terminal's operations could resume smoothly.

On October 22, 2012, the vessel 'Seahake,' en route from Wilhelmshaven to Vysotsk, encountered significant issues with its cooling water system. The incident occurred at 11:25 PM while the ship was traveling eastbound through the Kiel Canal. Just before reaching the Brunsbüttel road bridge, the engine experienced a failure, necessitating the assistance of the tug 'Bugsier 17.'
