02-06-2010: Collided with Calland Bridge in Rotterdam. On 20.00, the Finnish dry cargo vessel “NAJADEN” and the car carrier “PALMELA” informed to the VMC-ZWN Traffic Control Centre in southwestern Holland controlling the Caland Bridge that they needed the bridge to be opened so that they could sail from the Brittanniëhaven towards the Caland Canal. The “PALMELA” reported first, and after her the “NAJADEN”. The “NAJADEN” told that she wanted to use the same bridge opening as the “PALMELA”.

During the opening of the bridge, the bridge operator trainee, who at the moment managed the Caland Bridge, monitored the traffic situation by browsing camera pictures, which could be seen in the control table. On the basis of this information the bridge operator trainee concluded that the dry cargo vessel “NAJADEN”was passing beneath the bridge at a certain moment. In all probability, the bridge operator trainee mistook the river boat “ALEXIA”, which was passing the fixed part of the bridge, to be the “NAJADEN”. The bridge operator trainee waited until the “ALEXIA” had passed beneath the bridge and started the lowering procedure, which means that the movable part of the Caland Bridge closes down. At that moment the “NAJADEN” informed by VHF radiotelephone that she had not yet passed beneath the bridge. The bridge operator trainee pressed the stop button. The lift bridge stopped by a slow stop approximately six metres below its upmost position.  The part of the bridge to be lifted/lowered hit the roof of the navigating bridge and destroyed almost all equipment on the roof of the navigating bridge and tore off the funnel of the vessel.
21-03-2021: En route from Rio de Janeiro to Abidjan in Cote d’Ivoire, reported as intercepted, boarded and searched by the Dixmude (L9015) in the Gulf of Guinea, with the reported agreement of the flag State St Kitts & Nevis, under suspicion of carrying drugs. Within a short time more than six tons of cocaine was reported as found.
