March 19th 2020: A fire broke out in the engine room, after she had moored in the commercial port of Breskens, coming from Zeebrugge. The fire was extinguished by the crew, which flooded the engine room with CO2 in order to bring the situation under control. It was decided to leave the engine room closed until the morning of March 20th, at which point shoreside fire fighters from Breskens and Oostburg attended the site to open the engine room in a controlled manner. The entire ship had to be ventilated due to high CO2 values. In the early afternoon, the firefighters were stood down.
October 16th 2020: Called at Dover to offload marine aggregate.
