The "Travestern" and the "Havelstern" were in allision at the Comfort Cove-Newstead Anchorage, northern Newfoundland, on June 18, 2017. The "Havelstern" was anchored, and the passing "Travestern" was caught by a gust of wind which pushed her stern towards the stern of the "Havelstern". No serious damages and no leaks were reported, however, both tankers’ sterns suffered damages above the waterline. The "Travestern" continued the voyage and arrived at its port of destination, Lewisporte, on June 19. Both vessels were loaded with diesel and jet fuel at the time of the accident.

On May 19, 2017, the "Travestern" suffered a mechanical problem at 1.50 p.m. and ran aground on the Lancaster Bar, east of Cornwall, on the St. Lawrence River at 4 p.m. The tanker was en route from Hamilton to Montreal when it got stuck near Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, abeam of Lancaster at Cazaville.
