Another shadow fleet tanker troubled off Rügen
On the night of Jan 11, 2025, at 3 the 'Jazz', another tanker of the so-called shadow fleet, while en route from the Russian port Vysotsk with a cargo of oil and headed to Tunisia for orders, suffered engine trouble north of Rügen island and went adrift for a couple of hours. The emergency command in Cuxhaven deployed the emergency tug 'Baltic' to assist, which was nearby to tow the disabled shadow fleet tanker 'Eventin'. After initial troubleshooting, at 3 a.m. the problems re-occurred north of the island, and disabled the tanker again. At 7 a.m. it started sailing again with a costrained status. The emergency came just days after the "Jazz" suffered an engine failure south of the port of Hanko on Dec 30 and drifted at sea for a long time. At that time, the Finnish Coast Guard ordered a ship to the position to observe the tanker. The "Jazz" then sailed to the port of Vysotsk. The ship belongs to a Turkish company.
Tanker broke down enroute to Russia
The 'Jazz' suffered an engine failure, en route from Port Sudan to Russian Primorsk, and began to drift south of Hanko Cape on the evening of Dec 29, 2024. During the night, the ship managed to anchor south of Hanko, but the engine was still broken. A tug and the 'Turva' of the Finnish Coast Guard have been sent to the scene, and the 'Turva' has been lying close by since the afternoon oof Dec 30. There was is a risk that the ship’s anchor would not hold if the winds became too strong. The ship is not transporting oil. The Coast Guard has nevertheless taken preventive measures to ensure that the ship does not pose a danger to the environment. The crew of the tanker started working on repairing the engine. The ship has informed the radio service that they were planning to get the engine in order during the day. On Dec 31 at 2 p.m. UTC the tanker continued on its way east. The incident is not related to previous incidents in the Gulf of Finland with tankers of the Russian shadow fleet, and the ships' anchoring has not endangered the infrastructure on the seabed.
