Fire in truck
A fire broke out in a container truck, loaded with scrap metal, on board the 'Silja Serenade', with 650 passengers and 160 crew members on board, enroute from Helsinki to Mariehamn, Åland islands, on the night of March 2, 2026, accompanied by dense smoke development. The smoke was so intense that an MIRG group consisting of eight specialists from Helsinki and Turku has been brought to the ship by helicopter to help with the extinguishing work. The 'Silja Serenade' returned to Mariehamn during an emergency call on March 3 at 3 a.m. No one has been injured, but a couple of the rescue personnel have been exposed to smoke. They have used similar covering material as when extinguishing electric car fire. The smoke developmeng was brought under control, but extra safety measures wdre being taken as it was unclear what else may be on the truck bed. The maritime watchtower in Mariehamn confirmed that two Super Pumas were ready to respond and help with the extinguishing work if necessary. At 4 a.m. the container was being filled with sand, as water could not be used due to the risk of explosion that could arise. The entire area around the western port was cordoned off during the night. The affected truck was able to drive off under its own power and was now ashore. The 'Silja Serenade' has been able to return to its route towards Stockholm. The cause of the fire was still unknown.

Medevac off Sweden
An elderly Swedish female passenger was injured on the 'Silja Serenade' between Finland and Sweden on the late night of Feb 15, 2026. The situation was so serious that the passenger had to be evacuated by helicopter shortly before midnight in Swedish waters. The evacuation also affected the ship's schedule. The ship briefly turned back towards Sweden to meet the helicopter, and was only able to continue its journey after the patient had been safely airlifted. Rhe ship arrived in Helsinki about half an hour late. The maximum delay during the night was about 75 minutes.
Tilt could have rnded worse
The unexpected listing of the 'Silja Serenade' caused a seemingly dangerous situation near the Åland Islands on Aug 19 at about 12:50 a.m. enroute from from Stockholm to Helsinki. According to Tallink Silja's Communications Director Marika Nöjd, the tilting did not cause a dangerous situation. If someone had been caught under a pile of plates, that would have been unfortunate, but those restaurants were already closed by this point when the plates and a refrigerator had fallen over. Dozens of drinks were spilled on the floor. If that tilt had happened when the deck kiosk was open, the staff could have been seriously injured. The space is small, and there would not have been time to react. A second roll tilted the ship so much that passengers had trouble getting from the cabin to the corridor. Shampoo and makeup flew off shelves in the bathroom. There were a lot of people at the reception asking about what had happened. The employees were walking around quickly and talking on their walkie-talkies. There was no public announcement because most of the passengers were already asleep. The ship listed by about six degrees at most. According to a Tallink Silja employee, the ship's captain told the workers that a navigation error forced them to make a sharp turn, which led to the tilt. An internal company investigation has been launched. The weather did not affect the tilting. The sea conditions were excellent at the time of the incident.
