On Oct 1, 2026, at around 2 p.m. the 'Ida Rambow', enroute from Kaliningrad to Bremerhaven, suffered an engine failure and and power blackout. It had to emergency anchor on the Elbe in the Altenbruch Bend between the buoys 38 and 40 in pos. 53°50’33.4″ N 8°48’12.6″E . The tugs 'Wulf 7' (IMO: 9183075) and 'Wulf 9' (IMO: 8714243) came to assist. They secured the vessel, and also the multi purpose ship 'Neuwerk' was deployed, but did not have to intervene. The container ship was then towed to Cuxhaven, where it was berthed at Siemens Gamesa at around 6 p.m., where it remained stationary until Oct 3. It then proceeded to its port of destination, from where it sailed again on Oct 5, next headed to Hamburg.
Container detached on the Weser
On Feb 12, 2020, three containers were detached on the upper deck of the 'Ida Rambow' on the Northsea off Bremerhaven due to the strong gusts of the storm Ciara. The ship was coming from Hamburg when at 2 p.m. shortly before entering the Weser Sea Shipping Route, the containers fell over. The freighter had started rolling at wind force 8, gusts 11, from the west. However, the containers did not go overboard, but came to rest on the ship's deck. The responsible authorities have been informed. There was no danger to shipping or the environment. The ship was only allowed to leave Bremerhaven after the affected containers had been unloaded. They contained no dangerous goods. On Feb 13 at 4 a.m. the ship sailed again and headed for Copenhagen, where it docked on Feb 14 at 6:20 a.m. German report with photo: https://www.presseportal.de/blaulicht/pm/35235/4519587
