Shuttle vehicle crashed on cargo deck
On Feb 21, 2019, at 10.30 a.m. a shuttle vehicle hit against a cargo deck of the "Grande Roma" when driving onto a loading ramp between two decks. The height was not enough, and so the car crashed.

The marine police in Emden launched an investigation. The ship left the port on Feb 21 at midnight and headed to Antwerp, where it berthed on Feb 22 at 8.50 p.m., before proceeding to Sheerness, where it arrived on Feb 24 at 6.30 p.m.

On Aug 6, 2018, the "Grande Roma" (IMO: 9247936), tilted to starboard in the dry dock of Malta Dry Docks in Valletta which the ship had entered on July 31 for maintenance. The accident was thought to have been caused by a collapse of the dock supports due to the weight of the large stern ramp when this was lowered onto the dock side. On Aug 7 the ship was stabilized again and brought back on even keel after the dock was flooded. On Aug 13 at 10.30 a.m. the tugs"RT Spinola" (IMO: 9495258) and "Sea Salvor" (IMO: 9203100) pulled the sihp out of the dock again.
