Key-North Vessel Reviews and Specifications

The 'Key North', which had sailed from Stokmarknes on Oct 1, 2020, bound to Rørvik, had a bottom touch and was diverted to Ottersøy for damage assessment and repairs on Oct 2. The tanker proceeded to the Moen Verft AS in Ottersøy, with own power. It had suffered damage to its port side hull. No tug assistance has been requested. No pollution or injuries have been reported. The ship remained docked as of Oct 10.

The "Liselotte Essberger" suffered an engine room fire Alarm after having entered the Kiel Canal on Jan 23 at 7.30 p.m. in Brunsbüttel. The ship was enroute from Terneuzen to Porvoo with a cargo of benzol. The automatic fire extinguishing system was activated after vapor escaped from a boiler triggering the alarm. As a consequence the classification was withdrawn. The ship was taken in tow in Schülp by the tugs "Kitzeberg" and "Holtenau" which were called from Kiel, on Jan 24 around midday. In the run of the day it was being towed eastbound by the "Holtenau" towards Kiel with the "Kitzeberg" as stern tug. At 9.15 p.m. the ship was berthed at the North Jetty in the Scheer Port.
