Container fell onto bunker tanker
On Nov 1, 2026, the 'Mathilde Maersk', which had arrived from the London Gateway port on Oct 31, lost a container overboard during cargo handling at the Strom Quay in Bremerhaven. The box fell onto the bunker tanker 'Weser Service' (MMSI: 211428750) , which was moored alongside. The damaged container, which was loaded with steel plates, was subsequently recovered and placed on the pier. A sailing ban was issued for the bunker barge, which also sustained damage; it was escorted by a harbour pilot to the Kaiser Port. No one was injured in the incident, and there was no leakage of hazardous materials. The container ship itself sustained no damage. It left the port again on Nov 2 enroute to Hamburg with an ETA as of Nov 3. Administrative proceedings have been initiated against the operator of the loading crane. The further circumstances surrounding the accident were under investigation.

Mathilde Maersk rescues stranded fishermen
The Mathilde Maersk was on a routine voyage, until a crew member spotted a floating life raft. The five fishermen had been stranded for two days, but thanks to the crew’s skill and quick thinking, all survived, and were reunited with their families, the line shipping company said in a press release. Imagine being stranded in an inflatable life raft for 2 days in rough seas with dwindling supplies. This was the dire reality for five Hong Kong and Taiwanese fishermen whose fishing boat had sunk two days earlier in the South China Sea. Thanks to the quick thinking of the crew of the Mathilde Maersk and Captain Martin Hansen, these five fishermen have been safely reunited with their families. It was a routine voyage between Singapore and Yantian for the Mathilde Maersk. But on Friday, the 3rd of November 2017, approximately 170 miles south of Hong Kong, a crew member of the Mathilde Maersk spotted something out of the ordinary – a brightly orange coloured, life raft floating past. The Mathilde Maersk immediately informed the Hong Kong Marine Rescue Coordination Centre. Suspecting that some of their fellow seafarers were in trouble, the crew of the Mathilde Maersk turned around and headed back to look for the life raft and render assistance. The occupants of the life raft were in a dangerous situation. More at http://en.portnews.ru/news/249278/
