Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Wambiri

The LPG tanker 'Victoire' (IMO: 9321885) has been safely anchored in pos. 37° 05' W 149° 54' E in the Twofold Bay on the evening of April 9 off Eden, having been towed from a position east-south-east of Gabo Island by the 'Wambiri' after suffering a main engine failure on April 4, 2025. On April 4 at about 4 p.m. the AMSA was notified that the 'Victoire' had lost main engine power due to a mechanical issue about 45 kilometres southeast of Mallacoota in Victoria. The 'Wambiri' was sent from Eden to assist on the morning of Apri 6, but fouled a line from the ship and was taken back to Eden by the tug 'Flinders Bay' (MMSI: 503185500) for the removal of the rope. It then returned to the 'Victoire' and reached Eden on April 9 at 9.45 p.m. In Twofold Bay, the vessel will be inspected by the AMSA. It is classed with NKK, insured with Gard and due for its next special survey in May.
