Skalar Vessel Reviews and Specifications

A maritime incident occurred on April 22, 2017, when the cargo vessel 'City of Amsterdam', arriving from Gdansk, collided with the 'Conmar Bay' in the Kiel Canal at kilometer 48 near Breiholz around 10:53 a.m. The 'Conmar Bay', which was en route from Rotterdam to Helsinki, sustained considerable damage, particularly to several containers on its port side. Notably, the car carrier suffered a significant breach measuring 50 meters in length approximately 15 meters above the waterline. Following the collision, the 'Conmar Bay' was permitted to proceed to Kiel for further assessments, ultimately docking at Voith Quay at 2:30 p.m. and setting sail again later that evening towards Helsinki, where it arrived at the Steveco Container Terminal on April 24 at 11:15 a.m. Meanwhile, the 'City of Amsterdam' was escorted to the communal port of Rendsburg. It is important to note that the car carrier had been waiting for the 'Conmar Bay' to pass but was inadvertently drifted into its path due to winds of 8-9 Beaufort.

Yang Ming Line, the prominent Taiwanese shipping company, has recently struck a deal to charter the CONMAR BAY, a versatile feeder vessel boasting a capacity of 1,036 TEU. This strategic move is part of their latest initiative to enhance the 'RFS' Baltic Sea Feeder service, a collaborative effort alongside industry counterparts Hanjin and Coscon. This partnership aims to streamline operations and improve services in the critical Baltic trade routes.
