Schooner grounded and lost in Rødbyhavn
On the morning of July 6, 2025, the 'Gefion' ran aground on the breakwater of quay 10 off Rødbyhavn, short time after leaving the port following a yard stay anc prior to its transit to Portugal, due to an engine failure. The hull was breached, and the ship was flooded. No injuries were reported. The Danish Emergency Management Agency was handling the case. The wreck was not hampering ship traffic. The dredger 'Vilma Høj' (IMO: 6616904) was tasked with removing the wreck from the breakwater, which was impossible to be done in one piece. It arrived on site on July 13, and on July 14 the keel was pulled out of the water. The wreck removal was completed on July 15.
