Water ingress in the Baltic Sea

On Aug 9, 2017, the "Verona 1" suffered water ingress in the Baltic Sea off Sassnitz. The ship entered the port of Sassnitz for investigations with the foreship considerably down and berthed at the North Jetty. Divers were sent down to find out the cause of the water ingress in the cabin area which was thought to have originated from a breach in a ballast water tank. The volunteer fire rescue Breege laid out an oil boom. The HAPS company from Stralsund supplied 12 tanks for one ton oil polluted water each, later a special vehicle arrived from Rostock which could contain a further 20 tons. On the whole 30 tons were pumped out of the foreship within eight hours. The ship was detained until investigations and repairs were carried out.The ship sailed again from Mukran bound to Gdynia on Aug 12 at 10.15 a.m. German reports with photos: http://www.ostsee-zeitung.de/Vorpommern/Ruegen/Havarie-im-Mukraner-Hafen

Master medevaced off Sassnitz

In the morning of Aug 22, 2016, the master of the "Verona 1" was medevaced by the lifeboat "Harro Koebke" seven miles NE of Sassnitz. The Crew had requested assistance at 7 a.m., and the ship was asked to sail towards the port of Sassnitz to rendezvous with the lifeboat. Both ships met 1,5 miles off Sassnitz where two Crew members of the lifeboat were transferred aboard the "Verona 1". The helicopter “Christoph Offshore 2” came from Güttin upon Rügen with a medical on board who was winched onto the lifeboat to treat the patient which was taken aboard on a stretcher and taken to Sassnitz where an ambulance transported him to the local hospital.
