On March 18, 2015, at approximately 1:30 p.m., the cargo vessel 'Maxime' faced a challenging situation while attempting to navigate into Seaham's South Dock. During this operation, the ship was swept off course by strong currents, resulting in its starboard side colliding with the northern wall. As the vessel shifted, the bow struck the entrance gate, further complicating the docking process. In a bid to regain control, the crew skillfully maneuvered the ship in reverse, rectifying the alignment without requiring outside assistance. The 'Maxime' successfully departed from port on March 19, setting sail for Ghent.
