Read Authentic Ratings for the Vb-Ginger

On the evening of December 6, 2013, the tugboat 'Ginger' departed from Ijmuiden to assist the disabled Turkish cargo vessel 'Burak Bayraktar' (IMO: 9260536), which was stranded off the Dutch coastline. Unfortunately, a short while after establishing a towing connection, the tug experienced a mishap as the towing wire ensnared its propeller, resulting in a breakdown. The 'Ginger' had no choice but to head back to Den Helder for necessary repairs, docking at the Naval Harbour Willemsoord at 1:50 a.m. on December 7. Later that same day, at 10:15 a.m., the Finnish tug 'Zeus' (IMO: 9130729) arrived at the cargo ship and confirmed that the vessel's anchors were holding it in place. The 'Zeus' successfully set up a towing connection and began maneuvering the 'Burak Bayraktar' towards deeper waters, making strides in the salvage operation.
