Suecia-Seaways Ship Details and Seafarer Feedback

On January 7, 2018, at approximately 1:30 PM, the 'Suecia Seaways' was the center of a dramatic scene at the Vulcaan Port of Rotterdam-Vlaardingen as dense, black smoke poured from its smokestacks, casting a shadow over Schiedam. The local fire brigade responded swiftly, arriving on the scene with extensive equipment to address the situation. A specialized firefighting team was also dispatched, although fortunately, no fire was found. The cause of the smoke was identified as a malfunctioning boiler, which has since been repaired. Following the resolution of the boiler issue, the vessel is set to depart later tonight.

On September 13, 2023, the 'Suecia Seaways' departed from the Dooley Ro Ro Terminal in Felixstowe at 08:40, setting course back to Rotterdam Vulcan Port the same day.
