Two stowaways removed from rudder in Antwerp

Two stowaways hided aboard the 'CMA CGM Jamaica' and were taken off by the fire brigade in the afternoon of Sep 28, 2023, after it was moored in the Zandvliet lock en route to Antwerp. The fire brigade received a request from the federal police to help them capture the two Africans who had probably been hiding in the rudder compartment of the container ship. The fire brigade attended with its diving team. The vessel had left the port of Lagos on Sep 15 with Antwerp as the next stop. The two men emerged when the ship had docked in the lock. They were safely removed from the ship and taken by ambulance to a nursing station to examine them.

Collision in fog

On Nov 6, 2011, around 5 a.m. the "CMA CGM Jamaica" was in collision with the Gibraltar-flagged tank m/v „Kösterberg“ on the Elbe. The tanker suffered a gash in the hull causing water ingres in a ballast water tank and subsequently a list. The casualty was secured at a quay and dewatered. Next the cargo was to be lightered. The container vessel suffered only minor damage and moored at the Athabaska Quay at 7.30 a.m. The collision may have been caused by dense fog in spite of pilot's assistance. The container ship sailed for Antwerp the same evening.
