Discover the Siegfried-Lehmann: Ratings & Maritime News

On December 3, 2017, at 10:45 AM, the cargo vessel 'Siegfried Lehmann' was involved in an incident while navigating the Southern lock in Brunsbüttel. During its entry into the lock, the ship struck the moored tanker 'Manas', which was secured along the middle wall of the lock chamber. The allision occurred due to a navigation error, resulting in damage to the davits on the starboard side of the 'Siegfried Lehmann' and the railing of the 'Manas'. Fortunately, the 'Manas' was able to resume its journey from Hamburg to Rotterdam by noon on the same day. Conversely, the 'Siegfried Lehmann', which was on a journey from Kolding to Sevilla, faced a delay as it was held until its seaworthiness could be certified. The vessel dropped anchor in Brunsbüttel roads and, on December 4 at noon, made its way to Mützelfeldt Yard in Cuxhaven for necessary repairs, arriving at 4:30 PM. After the repair work was completed, the 'Siegfried Lehmann' departed the yard early on December 7 at 12:30 AM, resuming its course to Sevilla with an estimated arrival date of December 14. Meanwhile, the 'Manas' left Hamburg on December 4 and was on schedule to reach Rotterdam by December 5.

In a recent auction, a vessel was successfully sold for approximately $3.98 million to a buyer from Germany. This transaction highlights the growing interest in maritime assets within the European market. The sale not only reflects the current trends in the shipping industry but also signifies the ongoing demand for quality vessels among international buyers.

The "Skarpoe," the last vessel that was laid up in Papenburg, has resumed operations after a layup period of 3.5 months. The ship set sail from the port on November 16 at 1 a.m. and is now en route to Tallinn, with an estimated time of arrival (ETA) on November 19, 2012. This marks a significant moment for the port as it concludes the ship's lengthy stay in the area, during which it awaited further assignment.
