Timbus adrift off Terschelling
The "Timbus" suffered engine damage enroute from Varberg, where she had sailed on Nov 24, to Flushing in the Northsea on Nov 26, 2017 at 3 a.m. A deflagration in a cylinder of the main engine had caused an engine room fire. Although this could be extinguished by the crew, the ship lost the main power supply due to the associated failure of the wave generator and had to drop anchor off Terschelling in the afternoon, about 20 miles off the coast. The Dutch tug "Viking" (IMO: 9431903) was dispatched from Delfzijl around midday in order to tow the ship to Emden. The "Timbus" berthed at the Industry Quay on Nov 27 at 6.30 p.m. where an investigation was launched and the ship detained until the seaworthyness was restored. The ship left Emden again on Dec 16 at 1.50 p.m., bound to Bremerhaven, ETA Dec 17.
