Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Widor

In a maritime incident early on April 7, 2026, the freighter 'Widor', carrying a crew of eight, ran aground while navigating towards the port of Vierow in the Greifswalder Bodden region, after departing from Mukran. The vessel, which was unladen, became stuck in shallow waters as it approached the jetty, impacting its starboard side. Fortunately, the experienced crew managed to refloat the ship on their own without external assistance. However, the German Social Accident Insurance Institution for the Transport, Postal Services, Logistics and Telecommunications Sector (BG Verkehr) imposed a detention order in response to the grounding. The Wolgast Water Police Inspectorate has since launched an administrative investigation into the actions of the captain involved in the incident. Following the event, the 'Widor' resumed its journey, leaving Vierow at 3 p.m. UTC on April 8, and safely arrived back in Mukran at 6:30 p.m.

On June 29, 2016, at approximately 1 p.m., a maritime incident unfolded in the port of Brake when the bulk carrier 'Widor' collided with the 'Ionic Halo' as it was unmooring. The 68-year-old Lithuanian captain miscalculated the intensity of the outgoing tide, which caused the Widor to drift against the stern of the Ionic Halo while it was docked at the South Quay. The contact resulted in the cargo ship scraping the Ionic Halo's stern, leading to damage around its cargo hatches and a deck crane. Fortunately, hydraulic fuel leaked but did not contaminate the Weser River. Following the incident, the Widor returned to its initial berth for a thorough investigation. The Ionic Halo sustained minor damage and was able to depart the port shortly before midnight, setting course for Riga, with an estimated time of arrival set for July 2 at 5 p.m. After repairs to its damaged hatch covers, the Widor was cleared for departure on June 30 and left port at 6:15 p.m. for Fredericia, carrying a load of 2,600 tons of animal feed. Due to gear issues, the vessel had to anchor off Oste for troubleshooting but ultimately reached Fredericia by noon on July 2.
