ENGINE FAILURE.

On 9th. July 2018 while enroute from Klaipeda, Lithuania to Cork, Ireland with a crew of eight on board and carrying 3.300 tonnes of fertilizer and 56.5 tonnes of marine grade oil, Hekla suffered an engine failure in position 51 08 15N, 01 34 24.6E. The problem was fixed in 30 minutes and the vessel resumed its voyage to Cork.

 

GROUNDING NEAR SEHESTEDT.

On 2nd. July 2016 whilst enroute from Gdansk, Poland, to Bremen, Germany, Hekla ran aground on the embankment of the Kiel Canal near Sehestedt, close to the wharf at Steinwehr. The canal was closed to shipping for short time before the traffic control at Brunsbüttel allowed ship traffic in one direction between Rade and Königsförde. The tug Kiel was dispatched from Kiel and pulled the ship back into the channel at 7 a.m. The tug then escorted Hekla to the communal port in Rendsburg where it moored at 7.50 a.m. and the water Police Kiel boarded to begin investigations. A diver was called for a hull survey after which at 2 p.m. the ship was allowed to continue its voyage,

 

GROUNDING IN KOLDING FJORD.

On 16th. March 2016 while enroute from IJmuiden, Holland to Kolding, Denmark, Hekla ran aground at Drejens Odde in the Kolding Fjord. The cause of the grounding was unknown. The ship seemed to have suffered a leak and remained aground until a salvage plan has been approved. The Danish SAR boat Hercules- MHV 812 was on site in the morning of 16th. March. On 18th. March the ship was refloated by tug Fenja and thereafter moored at the North Quay in Kolding at 10.30 a.m. for inspections and to be unloaded.
