06-01-1995: En route from Mo-I-Rana to Warnemünde with a load of steel profile stranded in bad weather on the north Norwegian coast near the lighthouse of Blaabakflua. That same night she was refloated by a lifeboat and sailed under her own power to the harbor of Sandnessjen.
15-02-2001: Towed to IJmuiden by the tugboat “Waterman” after engine problems at Kings Lynn.
08-09-2009: Getting stuck under the Muelle Nemar 2 quay while mooring in Bilbao. Sailed with the bow under the concrete quay, probably because it was not reversed or too late, and remained stuck there. Unable to break free on its own. Two hastily approached harbor tugs succeeded in pulling the unfortunate ship free. Left the same day, accompanied by the two tugs.
