Damaged bulk carrier waiting for weather improvement in Brest

Fri Aug 29 12:57:02 CEST 2025 Timsen

The 'Donald M. James' has berthed in Brest on Aug 25. The ship, which was suffering from a problem with its rudder blade, has been waiting in the German port since March 11. It took more than five months to set sail for a suitable port, Setubal, where it is expected to be repaired by the Lisnave shipyard. Taken over on Aug 19 by the 'Abeille Horizon', the vessel was moored at repair dock number four of the commercial port in Brest where it was received by the AMB agency. It was expected to set sail, once again under tow of the 'Abeille Horizon', when the weather is favourable. It remained stationary as of Aug 29. https://www.letelegramme.fr/finistere/brest-29200/port-de-commerce/immobilise-depuis-plus-de-cinq-mois-apres-une-avarie-de-gouvernail-le-donald-m-james-est-arrive-a-brest-6877964.php
