Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Jisu-Fortune

On September 24, 2025, the 'Jisu Fortune', a brand-new vehicle carrier, experienced a mishap while navigating the Pierre Vandamme Lock in Zeebrugge as it was heading to Casablanca. During its departure maneuver, the ship was caught off guard by a strong gust of wind, resulting in a collision that caused damage to both the vessel and the lock itself. This incident left the inner port temporarily inaccessible for incoming and outgoing vessels. The extent of the damage was initially unclear, but an investigation has been launched to assess the situation and determine possible repairs. At the time of the incident, four ships were in the 500-meter-long Pierre Vandamme Lock, including the vehicles carrier 'Autostar' and Boluda Towage Europe's tugs, 'VB Flandes' and 'VB Rumba'. The 'Jisu Fortune', which had just been delivered in May and arrived in Zeebrugge from Wilhelmshaven on September 22, was undergoing handling by ICO at quays 509 of the South Dock and 408 of the North Dock in the days leading up to the incident. Notably, this ro-ro ship is the first auto carrier owned by Chinese automotive manufacturer Geely, known for its premium brands, including Volvo and Polestar. Following necessary inspections, the 'Jisu Fortune' resumed its journey, leaving Zeebrugge on September 27, and successfully arrived in Casablanca on September 30. As of September 25, the inner port of Zeebrugge has been reopened for maritime traffic.
