Kamilla

September 2, 2024 | Allision, Fire

As Typhoon Enteng struck Manila Bay on September 2, the 25 meter long training vessel Kamilla (MMSI: 548372500) caught fire.  The Kamilla was at anchor in the Navotas anchorage when it was struck by the 64 meter long cargo vessel LCT GT Express.  The strong waves caused by the typhoon cause the LCT GT Express to break free of its anchor. The LCT GT Express drifted into the Kamilla damaging the bridge and starting a fire.

The Philippine Coast Guard attempted to rescue the crew on the Kamilla, but were unable to reach the vessel because of weather conditions and strong currents. The 18 crew on the Kamilla were forced to abandoned ship. All the crew was later recovered with one crewman sent to hospital for injuries. No details reported on the damage or condition of the LCT GT Express.

On August 3, the 80 meter long self-propelled tanker-barge Karin sprung a leak on the Rhine River off Mainz, Germany. The Karin was loaded with 1650 tons of nitric acid when the master discovered the vessel had water ingress in the area between the outer hull and the tanks. Unable to control the flooding and the vessel developing a list, the Karin dropped anchor off the DLRG station at Mainz. Local firefighters were alerted who brought pumps to help dewater the tanker which were able to stabilize the Karin.

The owners of the Karin dispatched another tanker to lighter the cargo of acid off the vessel.  Divers inspected the vessel’s hull, but were unable to find the source of the leak.  Authorities determined the Karin was safe to proceed to a shipyard in Duisburg for repairs. No reports of injuries or pollution released.
