What Crew Members Say About Cma-Cgm-Monza

**Title: Incident in Bremerhaven Involves CMA CGM Monza** On April 21, 2026, the CMA CGM Monza encountered a mishap while navigating the Bremerhaven port. The vessel, sailing from Zeebrugge, allided with the pier at the constricted area near the former swing bridge. The incident occurred amidst gusty weather, prompting the ship's 56-year-old captain to request the aid of an additional harbor tug for safer transit. Assisted by the tugs VB Evolution (IMO: 9691357), VB Emotion (IMO: 9691369), and VB Innovation (IMO: 9190626), the captain unfortunately experienced challenges maintaining control of the vessel. The CMA CGM Monza's starboard side struck the pier edge, resulting in significant damage to the hull. The impact left a gash approximately 2.5 meters above the waterline, measuring about six meters in length. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported among the crew, and authorities confirmed that no pollution occurred as a consequence of the incident. However, the captain now faces regulatory proceedings for the offense. The CMA CGM Monza has been prohibited from sailing until the necessary repairs are completed to ensure its seaworthiness.
