Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Widor

**Title: Grounding Incident Involves Freighter Widor Near Vierow** On the morning of April 7, 2026, the freighter 'Widor,' carrying a crew of eight, encountered trouble while navigating towards the port of Vierow, located near Greifswalder Bodden. The vessel, which was unladen, ran aground on its starboard side in shallow waters as it approached the port's jetty. Fortunately, the dedicated crew managed to refloat the 'Widor' without any external assistance. However, the incident drew the attention of authorities, leading the German Social Accident Insurance Institution for the Transport, Postal Services, Logistics, and Telecommunications Sector (BG Verkehr) to issue a detention order on the vessel. Subsequently, the Wolgast Water Police Inspectorate began administrative proceedings against the ship's captain as part of the ongoing investigation into the grounding. After resolving the situation, the 'Widor' resumed its journey on April 8 at 3 p.m. UTC, heading back to Mukran, where it successfully docked at 6:30 p.m. This incident serves as a reminder of the challenges faced in maritime navigation and the importance of safety protocols in port approaches.

On June 29, 2016, around 1 p.m. the "Widor" allided with the "Ionic Halo" while unmooring in the port of Brake. When the ship which was berthed behind the bulkcarrier at the South Quay abd turned towards the fairway, it was caught by currents and pushed against the stern of the "Ionic Halo". Obviously the 68 year old Lithuanian master had misjudged the strength of the outgoing tide. The cargo ship scraped the stern with its port side and suffered damage at the cargo hatches and a deck crane. Hydraulic fuel leaked out, but did not spill into the Weser. It then backed to its former berth for investigations. The bulkcarrier, which had only suffered slight damage at the stern, left the port short before midnight the same day with an ETA at Riga as of July 2, 5 p.m.. The "Widor" was allowed to sail on June 30 after the damaged hatch covers were fixed, and left the port at 6.15 p.m. bound to Fredericia. It had loaded 2600 tons animal food. As the ship suffered a gear damage, it had to anchor off the Oste for troubleshooting and finally reached Fredericia on July 2 around noon.
