The 'Cellus' remained stationary at the port of Glückstadt as of May 14 due to the broken gear rings of the gearbox, which needed to be replaced. The Dutch company that manufactures the spare parts is taking a long time. The ship was expected to remain at its current berth until mid-July. The gears were already finished last week, but the parts didn't pass quality control, during which stress cracks were discovered, likely caused by the gears cooling down. The damage will definitely be in the seven-figure range – a considerable sum." Whether and how much of this will be covered by insurance has not yet been determined. The fire departments from Glückstadt and Kollmar as well as the rescue service have held several exercises on the freighter in recent weeks.

On May 8, 2025, at 9.52 a.m. UTC, the barge combination 'Carisma I/Carisma II' (MMSI: 244010927), enroute from Dordrecht to Emmerich, ran aground on the Rhine in Cologne at river kilometre 688 on a shallow at the Deutzer Plate. The ship was trying to safely make way due to several downstream vessels and temporarily waited on the left bank. Upon resuming its voyage and crossing to the other side of the Rhine, the bow of the vessel encountered a shallow area, causing the vessel to run aground. As a result, the starboard rope jumped from the drum, and the coupled barge began to move to starboard on its own. The crew reacted quickly by attaching an emergency rope between the vessel and the starboard side of the barge. The vessel then reversed at full speed, with the rear barge heading toward a bridge pier. As the barge continued to drift to starboard, the port anchor was dropped to contain the movement. These measures prevented major damage. Nevertheless the 'Carisma' struck two stationary vessels. Their mooring lines were torn loose by the impact. These ships, in turn, collided with an anchored day-trip boat, whose mooring also broke loose and collided with another day-trip boat. A total of five vessels were involved in the accident, besides the 'Rhein Magie' (MMSI: 211876920) and 'Rhein Vision' two moored Viking Cruise ships. All vessels were manned and were quickly brought under control, so no one was injured. Two boats each from the Cologne Water Police and the Water Protection Authority, as well as a fire department and a rescue boat, responded. A radio warning was issued to the shipping traffic. Several restrictions were in place for traffic sailing downstream. The container ship 'Cugini' (MMSI: 244710139) immediately provided assistance. The coupled convoy 'Johanna' also tried to assist, but was unable to approach sufficiently. The water police and the Waterways and Shipping Authority did not grant permission to transfer a rope, While transferring a rope to another bollard, a sailor from the 'Cugini' fell overboard. Thanks to his life jacket and a rope, he was able to save himself and was brought aboard the 'Carisma." The damage is estimated to be in the high six-figure range.
