Nissos-Rhenia

The 'Nissos Rhenia' is being repaired at its anchorage since Oct 31. It has activated maritime and ecological safety protocols on Nov 5. The repair works began on Oct 31.  A protocol of action was activated by the National Maritime Authority of Portugal and the Portuguese Navy, which sent the corvette NRP 'António Enes' to the area. Once on scene, the ship contacted the tanker and is currently monitoring navigation in the area, ensuring the safety of other ships in the vicinity. The repairs by a technical team are expected to last  until the end of this week, so it can continue its journey to its port of destination.

The 'Nissos Rhenia' suffered an engine failure, en route from Jubail to Le Havre, about 51 nautical miles off Viana do Castelo on Oct 28, 2024. The vessel has been taken in tow by the tug “Ría de Vigo” towards the Portuguese coast for inspections, and, possibly, repairs. It was anchored in pos. 41° 31' N 009° 24' W. It was not ruled out that General Average/Salvage and associated recovery issues may arise as a result of the casualty.
