The 87 meter long, 3015 dwt cargo vessel Sea Breeze  sent out a distress call off the Lizard Peninsula off Falmouth after the vessel began to sink.   The Sea Breeze was carrying 2750 tons of limestone  bound for Shoreham when it suffered water ingress in the engine room.  The vessel’s pumps were unable to control the flooding and the crew requested assistance.  The RNLI lifeboats and coastguard helicopters were dispatched to the scene.   Additional pumps were delivered, but were unable to stop the flooding.  The five crew from the Sea Breeze were transferred off the sinking ship.  The salvage tug Vortex from Falmouth and HMS Tyne were reported standing by the Sea Breeze.

The 157 meter long, 19800 dwt tanker Ginaldag allided with the lock wall in the Kiel Canal at Burnsbuettel, Germany.  The Ginaldag was en route to Gdansk from Hamburg when it suffered a technical fault and struck the lock wall.  The tanker swung perpendicular to the lock before striking the stern of the 136 meter long, 9682 dwt cargo vessel Arklow Muse.  The Ginaldag was towed from the lock and taken to a nearby berth.  The Arklow Muse was allowed to continue through the canal to Kiel.  The cargo ship was detained as it was to far damaged to proceed further.  The Ginaldag was detained by the water police while they investigate the incident.  No reports of injuries or pollution released.

The 130 meter long, 11680 dwt freighter Seba M went aground in the Azov Sea port of Mariupol, Ukraine.  The Seba M was entering the port and was pushed out of the navigation channel by ice.   The port tug was requested, but was unable to refloat the Seba M.  An ice breaker was dispatched but was not able to get close to the freighter due to the shallow water.  A towline was taken from the Seba M to the icebreaker and later pulled the freighter free.   No reports of injuries, damage or pollution being released.
