Read Authentic Ratings for the Smp-Novodvinsk

On January 12 at 2:45 PM, the cargo ship 'SMP Novodvinsk', which was transporting rolled steel from Swinoujscie to Szczecin, strayed off its intended navigation path in the Szczecin Lagoon due to fog and ran aground. The incident occurred at coordinates 53° 47' 54" N, 14° 21' 15" E. Fortunately, the vessel remained clear of the shipping fairway, thereby not obstructing other maritime traffic. Despite an attempt to refloat the vessel over the past three weeks, efforts have proven unsuccessful. A thorough underwater inspection was conducted, confirming that the hull remains intact, with no signs of damage or environmental harm. As of February 4, the Szczecin vessel traffic control service continues to monitor the situation closely while the ship remains stranded.
