Man fell over board on ice
On Feb 2, 2018, at 8.35 a.m. a Russian crew member fell over board the "Sea Prospect" in Piteå at Haraholmen. Emergency services and ambulance were mobilized to the site. The man had worked on the ship and climbed on a ladder as he slipped and fell five to seven down onto the ice. His colleagues managed to lift him up again, using a crane. When the ambulance staff arrived, the man was on the dock. Ambulance staff worked intensively before he was taken to Sunderby Hospital or Norrland University Hospital in Umeå.

Disabled cargo ship towed to Cherbourg
The "Sea Prospect" suffered cylinder damage and engine failure on June 20, 2015 northwest of the Cotentin, in the Casquets traffic separation zone. The disabled vessel started to drift in the English Canal north of Guernsey. As the crew was unable to fix the problem with own means, on June 21 a towage contract was signed, and the "Sea Prospect" was taken in tow by the French salvage tug "Abeille Liberté" in the afternoon. Winds and currents were making the convoy slow. The ship was pulled to Cherbourg anchorage and moored in the early morning of June 22. The "Sea Prospect" was en route from Porto Empedocle to Grenaa.
