Rix-Warrior

The "Celtic Spirit" with a crew of eight on board, bound to Hull in ballast, dragged anchor in position 053 35 56N, long 000 00 57.06E, about 3.6 nautical miles from Spurn Point and, before the engines could be started, allided with the seismographic research vessel "Atlantic Explorer" with 23 persons on board, bound to Barton-on-Humber, at Hawke Anchorage on March 1, 2018, at 05.30 a.m. Together they continued to drag and came into contact with the "Celtic Warrior", with a crew of nine on board, which was bound to Gunness with a cargo of scrap glass. The "Celtic Spirit" was able to separate itself and dropped anchor. The other two vessels, with tug assistance, were able to disentangle their anchors at 10.56 a.m. and were moored at the Hawke Anchorage. Damage was sustained to all three vessels; the extent of same was presently unknown. Pilotage has been suspended until March 3. The "Celtic Spirit" will eventually proceed to Dunstans Shipyard, Albert Dock, for repairs, while the "Celtic Warrior" will proceed to the designated discharge berth in the River Trent. The "Atlantic Explorer" will proceed to its berth in Grimsby in due course. The Humber Coastguard was coordinating the response.

A 42-year-old Filipino belonging to the crew of the "Thule" died in a fall in Naantali harbor at 10:30 a.m. on Sep 22, 2010. The man was working in the hold and probably slipped and then fell two metres down, landing in a corridor. His head bounced against a metal frame, and he died of his injury. Police and paramedics went to the harbor, but there was nothing to do. The "Thule" left Naantali soon after and headed for Koling, ETA Sep 26, 10 p.m.
