Tanker to be unloaded and taken to a shipyard

Thu Apr 23 12:09:53 CEST 2026 Timsen

The 'RLO Merchant' left the Strom Quay in Bremerhaven on April 17 at 2.30 a.m. and moved into the inner harbor, where it berthed at 4.45 a.m. at an oil depot. The tanker has to be unloaded and then taken to a shipyard for repairs. There was visible damage on the compass deck, as well as on a searchlight and a satellite dish. The hull also suffered some damage above and at the height of the water line at starboard side. Initial investigations by the water police revealed that the 50-year-old captain of the tanker made a navigational error during the docking maneuver alongside the 'Vilnia Maersk'. He disregarded the advice of the consulting pilot. Since the investigation was ongoing, the cause of the accident could not yet be definitively determined. The captain was neither intoxicated nor drunk. The ship remained stationary as of April 23.

Bunker tanker allided with two container ships in Bremerhaven

Fri Apr 17 11:06:57 CEST 2026 Timsen

On the afternoon of April 15, 2026, the 'RLO Merchant' allided with two container ships, which were berthed at the Strom Quay in Bremerhaven, the "W. Kampala" (IMO: 9215311) and the "Vilnia Maersk" (IMO: 9778533), causing significant material damage. At approximately 4:20 p.m., the bunker tanker attempted to get alongside the 'Vilnia Maersk' for refueling, presumably in strong currents. The maneuver failed, however, and the tanker subsequently damaged both the 'Vilnia Maersk' and the 'W. Kampala', which was berthed behind it. No injuries and no pollution were reported. The water police have recorded the incident and issued a sailing ban on the tanker. Administrative proceedings have been initiated against the 50-year-old captain of the tanker. The water police investigation was ongoing. The 'W. Kampala' left Bremerhaven the same day enroute to Antwerp with an ETa as of April 17, and the 'Vilnia Maersk' also departed enroute to Klaipeda with an ETA as of April 18.
