Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Tina-Theresa

Authorities have initiated separate investigations following a maritime incident that occurred off the coast of Kilrush in County Clare, Ireland. The collision involved two cargo ships in the Shannon estuary around 5 am on Sunday morning. The bulk carrier, Irini, measuring 225 meters and weighing 69,734 tonnes, was anchored and transporting a load of bauxite intended for the Rusal Alumina facility in Aughinish, Limerick. Meanwhile, the Danish-registered tanker Tina Theresa, at 93 meters in length, was departing its anchorage to rendezvous with a pilot in the Shannon estuary at the time of the incident. While the tanker sustained damage along its starboard side, it fortunately did not experience any hull breaches. Both vessels were involved in the navigation, and the investigations aim to determine the exact circumstances leading to this maritime mishap.

On October 12, 2010, the merchant vessel "Tina Theresa" (IMO 9478298) experienced a harrowing armed robbery roughly 16 miles south of the Lagos entrance in Nigeria. During this alarming incident, the ship's crew of 16 individuals faced aggressive handling by the attackers. Fortunately, although the crew sustained various bruises and injuries from the encounter, none suffered life-threatening harm. Unfortunately, the assailants inflicted severe damage on the ship's communication systems, significantly hindering efforts to maintain contact with the Master of the vessel during the crisis. Following the robbery, "Tina Theresa" navigated to Lomé, Togo, where the crew was met with comprehensive medical care and crisis counseling services. Herning Shipping, the company responsible for the vessel, is committed to facilitating the relief of the onboard crew and is taking all necessary measures to restore the ship to its normal operational status.
