Bulk carrier broke down in English Channel
The 'Liefde', enroute from Aratu to Rotterdam, suffered a breakdown during its transit within the English Channel Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS) on Sep 21, 2026. An emergency U-turn was followed by a drifting status at 1.3 knots and an AIS status of NUC. The French emergency tug 'Abeille Normandie' was deployed from Calais. Upon reaching the bulkcarrier, the tug reduced speed to 2.2 knots and switched its AIS status to "Restricted Maneuverability" to begin recovery operations. An emergency towing operation was commenced, and the tug has successfully secured the 'Liefde'. The convoy moved South-South-East to clear the main traffic lanes, maintaining a safe towing line distance of approximately 660 meters.
