The general cargo ship Petra L. (1,685 dwt) is registered in Antigua and Barbuda for a German owner which is listed as MP Shipping of Hamburg in the Equasis database. The 39-year-old vessel departed Szczecin, Poland on April 22 loaded with 1,500 tons of gain bound for Antwerp. Three days later early on the morning of April 25, she arrived in Emden, Germany, and port authorities noticed the gapping hole and reported it to the police.
Media reports said the water police were initially investigating the incident on the theory that the vessel had hit a floating object. Police reports are saying that the hole measures approximately 10 feet by 16 feet (3 meters by 5 meters) penetrating the hull. They reported that there were three officers and three crewmembers working aboard the vessel. None of them were injured.
The Russian captain of the vessel is promising a full statement after speaking with lawyers. Currently, the German authorities are reporting that he is facing charges for failing to report a maritime accident. Additional charges could be added pending the outcome of the investigation.
They are citing this as the first instance of a vessel underway striking a wind farm. Three years ago, a support vessel servicing another wind farm in the North Sea struck one of the towers and injured three people aboard the vessel. In that instance, investigators blamed the captain for being distracted, not maintaining a proper lookout, and deviating from the normal course used while servicing the Riffgrund wind farm which is located approximately 28 miles from shore.
Dutch authorities also reported an accident during a North Sea storm that caused a cargo ship at anchor to drift into an under-construction wind farm striking and damaging one of the foundations. An urgent salvage operation needed to be mounted to save the vessel before it drifted on shore during the storm.
The vessels provide support for the Group's operations and are also leased on term charter to clients for offshore work in the oil and gas industry. The vessels are Malaysian and/or foreign flagged, and are fully equipped to meet stringent international and industry standards.

The turbine at the Gode Wind 1 offshore wind farm in Germany that was hit by a cargo vessel last month was put back into service around 24 hours after being taken out of operation for inspection, rsted tells offshoreWIND.biz. According to reports by German media, the vessel, which sustained major damage, was on autopilot and sailing off course before crashing into the turbine.
Gode Wind 1, part of the Gode Wind 1 & 2 duo which has been operational since 2017, comprises 55 Siemens Gamesa 6 MW wind turbines installed on foundations manufactured by EEW (monopiles) and Bladt Industries (transition pieces).
According to German public radio and television broadcaster NDR, the captain of Petra L. did not report the crash to the district headquarters of the Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration and did not register at the Port of Emden, which the ship ended up calling and where it subsequently docked to undergo repair.
This constitutes a violation of administrative procedures and has led to a hearing in Germany, which otherwise would not have been required since neither the vessel nor the crew are German and the incident happened outside the twelve-nautical-mile zone, according to the national media.
German media also reports that the 1984-built cargo ship, which was loaded with 1,500 tonnes of grain destined for Antwerp, Belgium, was kilometres off course and was sailing on autopilot, and that monitoring systems at the wind farm had not registered the allision.
According to updates by German media from earlier this month, the investigations and the hearing are underway and the captain, who is represented by a lawyer, had not provided details on the exact circumstances of the incident.

Purpose: CT angiography (CTA) is the imaging standard for large vessel occlusion (LVO) detection in patients with acute ischemic stroke. StrokeSENS LVO is an automated tool that utilizes a machine learning algorithm to identify anterior large vessel occlusions (LVO) on CTA. The aim of this study was to test the algorithm's performance in LVO detection in an independent dataset.
Methods: A total of 400 studies (217 LVO, 183 other/no occlusion) read by expert consensus were used for retrospective analysis. The LVO was defined as intracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion and M1 middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion. Software performance in detecting anterior LVO was evaluated using receiver operator characteristics (ROC) analysis, reporting area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity. Subgroup analyses were performed to evaluate if performance in detecting LVO differed by subgroups, namely M1 MCA and ICA occlusion sites, and in data stratified by patient age, sex, and CTA acquisition characteristics (slice thickness, kilovoltage tube peak, and scanner manufacturer).

Wrtsil Corporation (Wrtsil) is a Finnish company that is a global leader in innovative technologies and lifecycle solutions for the marine and energy markets. It supplies innovative, sustainable and high-performance, next-generation propulsion systems for large-scale vessels such as bulk carriers and cruise ships to high-speed ferries. Wrtsil equipment is used on over 41,500 vessels worldwide.
Although its existing equipment provides superior performance, there is an ongoing demand to provide enhancements, especially with the latest tightening of emissions regulations by the International Marine Organization (IMO), which is striving for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Starting in 2023, the Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) required owners to optimize the performance of existing vessels. This is in addition to carbon intensity integrators (CII) regulations already in effect in 2023 and the European Union Emissions Trading system (ETS) regulations set for 2024. Clearly, the global marine sector is focused on reducing emissions and continually improving efficiency.
Traditionally, complex CFD models were used to develop propulsion systems. The marine industry was focused on speed and overall performance; in other words, how fast could you get your tanker, cruise ship or mega container ship from points A to B. This has all changed with the new regulations; now engineers need to know how the propeller system performs in various conditions and operation scenarios. Every bit of data and information counts and can make the difference between an efficient and sustainable solution and one that falls short.
One example of the importance of using Simcenter co-simulation was being able to simulate the dynamic positioning capability of a vessel. Consisting of a complex computer-controlled system of sensors, propellers and thrusters, a dynamic positioning system allows a vessel to maintain a constant position during all types of conditions, including rough seas and high wind and waves. The dynamic positioning (DP) capability indicates up to what condition a vessel can keep constant position to perform its operation. It is especially useful for drill ships or wind turbine installation vessels (WTIVs) when the ship needs to stay at a specific location no matter what the circumstances.
