The "Berge Fjord", suffered an engine loss on the Elbe in the foremidday
of Mar 11, 2011, but could be stopped in time by an emergency anchoring
off the nuclear plant Brunsbuettel after engine loss. The ship had
encountered serious engine problems, possibly a fire. Already after its
departure from Hansaport to Ponta de Madeira in the early morning it was
berthed at the pilings off Airbus, before trying to resume its voyage,
however, in vain. The tugs "Bugsier-2", "Parat", "Bugsier-15", "Corvin",
"Bugsier-14", "Taucher Otto Wulf-4", "Bugsier-21" and "Bugsier-5" were
called to assist. After the loss of power the anchor and the chain had
to let go as it could not be heaved. The ship was towed to the Elbe
Harbour where it was berthed for inspections and repairs at 3.30 p.m.
