Russian Navy Corvette Collides with Refrigerated Ship in Fog Near Entrance to Baltic Sea

The Danish Ministry of Defense has confirmed that the Russian Navy corvette, Kazanets, collided with the refrigerated cargo vessel, Ice Rose, in dense fog, near the Øresund Bridge, which spans the entrance to the Baltic.

The Russian ship, a Parchim-class corvette, is reported to have been operating with this AIS turned off. The corvette is said to have suffered a hull breach above the waterline and to have proceeded under its own power toward the Baltiysk Naval Base, Kaliningrad Region, Russia.

The merchant ship, Ice Rose, is reported to have suffered significant damage and is anchored south of the Øresund Bridge awaiting a determination of seaworthiness. Ice Rose is a 14567 DWT ship carrying refrigerated containers. The ship is owned by Maestro Ship Management.
