Engine trouble off Tromsø
The "Tiksy" suffered engine failure on Sep 18, 2018, at 7.13 a.m. off Senja, 50 miles north of Andøya, while enroute from Arkhangelsk to Alexandria, and went adrift in calm seas. A turbo started to smoke. On Sep 20 the ship accepted a towing contract after the crew failed to fix the propulsion problem. The ship could only move ahead with two knots due to a damaged turbo. In the evening it was taken in tow by the tugs "Stone" (IMO: 6917516) and "Borg Mini" (MMSI: 257455900) as steering tug towards Tromsø. The ship initially was headed to Alexandria. It left Tromsø-Breivika again on Oct 2 at 4.40 p.m. and resumed the interrupted voyage to Alexandria, ETA Oct 15. Photo: https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4495/23602211978_031a6de0e5_o.jpg
