Read Authentic Ratings for the Viena

On December 22, 2019, wooden planks began appearing along the shores of Sørlandet, remnants of a cargo spill from the cargo ship 'Isidor', which lost approximately 1,200 tons of timber during a severe storm that struck the North Sea on December 8 and 9. The planks washed ashore in various locations including Grimstad and Arendal, prompting a collective effort for recovery involving local fishermen and the rescue boat 'Inge Steensland'. Evidence pointed to 'Södra Hamina' in Finland, as investigations revealed that this company was responsible for the shipment loaded onto the 'Isidor'. The Danish shipping company Echoship, who owns the vessel, confirmed the incident after being contacted by Port of Arendal. The 'Isidor' departed from Hamina on November 28, 2019, en route to Humber, arriving at its destination on December 11. While the exact location of the timber loss remains unclear, it is believed to have occurred in the central North Sea. With nearly 1,700 cubic meters of cargo on deck, the ship was carrying between 1,200 and 1,300 tons of timber. Interestingly, the Norwegian Maritime Directorate reported no notifications of lost cargo from any vessels. Echoship responsibly informed international maritime authorities about the incident in line with international regulations, but the Coastal Administration Southeast has not tracked the quantity of planks still floating in the sea along Norway’s southern coastline.

The cargo vessel "Isidor," which departed from Bremen on June 26, 2014, and was en route to Liepaja, experienced a pump failure leading to water ingress while navigating the Kiel Canal. Following the incident, the Lindenau Yard in Kiel was enlisted for repair services. However, due to a lack of available quay space, the ship was anchored at the North Jetty in Scheer Port, Kiel, on July 27, where repair operations have been underway ever since.
