Collision off Falmouth
The 'Team Hawk' with a crew of 20 on board was in collision with the French 22-meter-fishing vessel 'California' on Dec 14, 2019, at 5.20 p.m. in the English Channel South of Falmouth nine miles from Lizard Point. The tanker was on route from Falmouth to New York. The fishing vessel with a crew of five suffered slight damage to its upper bow. The CROSS Corsen established communications with the fishing vessel. It intended to return to Roscoff on Dec 17. At the time of collision, the fishing vessel was not fishing, rather it was proceeding slowly at a speed of five knots. The tanker suffered a hole of around 50x100 centimeters size with ensuing water ingress, and the pumps were being used to cope with the flooding. DCPSO, Duty officer DFT/MAIB, Duty surveyor, Harbour and Enforcement agencies were aware of the situation. The vessel anchored in position 50 06 32 N, 005 03 00 W, about 2.5 miles from South Pendennis point off Falmouth, waiting for an inspection to take place the next morning.
Tankers had to leave La Coruña in emergency
The "Eagle Turin" and the "Sichem Hawk" had to leave their berths at the Repsol oil terminal in La Coruña after their mooring lines started to break one after another as strong wind and heavy waves hit the port in the morning of Nov 8, 2017. The first to leave was the "Eagle Turin" which had been offloading 83.000 tons of crude oil. Second was the "Sichem Hawk" , which had been loading diesel oil. After leaving port, the "Eagle Turin" was moving in legs off La Coruña, while the "Sichem Hawk" moved to the Ria de Bentranzos Bay north of La Coruna where she dropped anchor, awaiting the weather to improve.
