Wilhelmina

January 5, 2026 | Damaged

On the afternoon of January 4, the 40 meter long self-propelled passenger ship Wilhelmina (MMSI: 211757680) sprung a leak while berthed on the Neckar River at Stuggart, Germany. The passenger ship suffered uncontrolled water ingress causing the Wilhelmina to develop a list. The local fire brigade was called out and started to secure the vessel. Additional mooring lines were used to secure the vessel while dewatering pumps were deployed. An inspection of the vessel found the water ingress was due to an open seawater valve. After the valve was closed and the dewatering completed, the Wilhelmina was reported as secured. There were no injuries and no pollution released.

White Line

January 4, 2026 | Grounding

On the afternoon of January 3, the 75 meter long, 2052 dwt cargo vessel White Line (IMO: 8420713) ran aground in the Sea of Marmara off Martaş, Tekirdağ, Turkey. The White Line had departed from Libya in ballast bound for Tekirdağ when it went ashore near Martaş. The cargo vessel was attempting to dock at the port of Martaş when unusually strong southerly winds caused the cargo vessel to be blown up on the beach.

The Coastal Safety Directorate and Coast Guard were alerted and dispatched a response team to the scene. Finding conditions unfavorable, authorities determined that any refloating attempts would have to wait until better weather. No reports of injuries to the 9 crew members on board. Divers attempted to conduct an inspection the following day, but were unable to do a proper assessment due to the high waves.

Reports state the White Line had a recent history of deficiencies. The cargo vessel was detained multiple times in 2025 for structural issues and safety equipment not up to requirements.

Wilson Goole

November 28, 2025 | Disabled

On November 25, the 88 meter long, 3680 dwt cargo vessel Wilson Goole (IMO: 9126687) became disabled in the Bay of Biscay near Chaussée de Sein, France. The Wilson Goole was headed to Pasajes from IJmuiden with a cargo of steel when it suffered a partial engine breakdown. Due to the worsening weather conditions, the Wilson Goole alerted French authorities who dispatched the 80 meter long, 1811 dwt rescue tugboat VB Abeille Bretagne (IMO: 9308687) to standby near the stricken cargo vessel. The Wilson Goole diverted to Brest at reduced speed escorted by the VB Abeille Bretagne. The vessel would reach the safety of Baie de Douarnenez where it undertook repairs.

The following day, the Wilson Goole was able to complete repairs and resume its voyage. No reports of injuries, damage or pollution released.
