In the morning of Nov 13, 2015, a fire broke out aboard the "Finnkraft" in the Vuosaari port of Helsinki. In the bow area a stairwell had caught fire. The crew of 14 managed to get the fire under control with smoke divers before the arrival of rescue services which were alerted at 11.06 a.m. and attended with strong forces as were also up to 40 passengers mistakenly thought to have been possibly on board. No one was, however, injured, but the toxic smoke had time to spread over several decks up to the bridge. The damage was restricted to the engine room. The concerned areas were ventilated. The ship had arrived from Gdynia on 5.20 a.m.

On Mar 18 the "Finnkraft", which had run aground on the Trave near Schlutup following an engine blackout the previous day, was still at Vorwerk port undergoing investigations. The ship after having refloated itself had been stabilised by the workboat "Pirol" prevented it from drifting perpendicular to the Trave due to wind and current and running aground again on the souterh embankment with its stern, until the tug "Axel" had arrived from Luebeck to escort the vessel to a berth.
