Containership was adrift off Iceland and towed to Reykjavik
The 'Dettifoss', en route ffrom Reykjavik to Nuuk, suffered a main engine failure on July 9, 2025, at around 2 p.m. UTC and was disabled and adrift in the North Atlantic approximately 390 nautical miles southwest of Iceland (Lat. 61.3867 Lng. -35.6133). The crew and the vessel were in no immediate danger as the weather was calm in the area. The Iceland Coast Guard deployed the patrol vessel 'Freyja' (IMO: 9455105) to the scene, which reached the casualty on the night of July 10 amd took it in tow to back Reykjavik for inspections and repairs. The ship was finally pulled back into the port of Reykjavik on July 12. The 'Dettifoss' is deployed in a joint service with Greenland’s shipping company Royal Arctic Line, sailing between Aarhus and Helsingborg, Bremerhaven, the Faroe Islands, Iceland and Greenland. Customers will be informed of the situation by Eimskip.
