Reviews & Ratings for the Torm-Durga

On January 26, the tanker 'Silver Carla' was successfully towed to the Blohm & Voss shipyard in Hamburg for main engine repairs. The tow was carried out by the tugboats 'Multratug 20' and 'Bugsier 21' following a coordinated effort that began on January 25, when four tugs, including 'Stella' and 'Florian', left the Nordfrost-Southwest Quay in Wilhelmshaven. After a careful towing operation, the vessel arrived at its destination, docking at Blohm & Voss at 6:45 PM. For more details and footage of the operation, you can check out the German report linked here: http://www.wzonline.de/index.php?id=1050&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=294015&tx_ttnews%5BbackPid%5D=624&cHash=dbd72c4fd6&lokvid=4010900439001&doply=true and here: http://www.geniusstrand.de/25-01-2015/wilhelmshaven-tanker-havarist-silver-carla-schleppverband.

In the early hours of January 13, 2023, the weather conditions eased enough for the tugs 'Bugsier 9' and 'Bugsier 10' to reposition and resume their towing mission of the distressed tanker 'Silver Carla'. The operation saw the tanker being guided towards Jade, with support from the tug 'Mellum' and escort tug 'Weser'. By 6:30 a.m. on January 13, the tug 'Nordic' was safely released and returned to Cuxhaven. The 'Silver Carla' finally arrived in Wilhelmshaven at 5:15 p.m. and was securely docked at the Nordfrost quay along the Ems-Jade-Canal by 6:30 p.m. For more details, check the German report featuring a photo here: http://www.wzonline.de/nachrichten/uebersicht/topthemen-aus-wilhelmshaven-und-friesland/artikel/havarierter-tanker-sicher-im-hafen.html?no_cache=1&cHash=028d55b291751e2d061b56a856bcdb2d

As of January 12, the 'Silver Clara' remains steadily towed in a convoy approximately 35 miles north of Juist. The convoy maintains its speed despite the challenging conditions, with weather factors showing slight improvement. Wind speeds have calmed to nine Beaufort, accompanied by wave heights reaching up to five meters. The tanker, which is currently unloaded, experienced a critical engine failure on January 11 at 3 a.m., located around 18 miles north of Norderney.
