On Dec 30, 2017, at 4:10, the "Kalvoe" informed the CROSS Jobourg about engine trouble which had occurred the previous evening. The ship had suffered damage to its fuel pump enroute from Las Palmas to Vlaardingen and was adrift 36 miles west of La Hague with a cargo of clay. The CROSS immediately informed the Operations Center of the Maritime Prefecture of the Channel and the North Sea, which then decided to alert the emergency tug "Abeille Liberté" in Cherbourg in regard of the very bad weather conditions in the English Channel with SW winds of 8 Beaufort and a swell of 2,5 meters. At 8:30 a.m., the "Kalvoe" reported to have repaired the damage and resumed its route at a reduced speed, towards the Casquets traffic separation zone. But at 9:30 a.m. it declared another damage and tried to drop anchor unsuccessfully for repairs. The shipowner then signed a contract with the "Abeille Liberté" which was already on scene and took the "Kalvoe" in tow at 11:30 a.m. The convoy arrive at the port of Cherbourg at 7.20 p.m. where the freighter will dock to carry out the necessary repairs.
