About Herakles
Herakles was a pusher vessel owned by Finnish towing and marine salvage company Alfons Håkans Oy Ab. The ship, originally built as salvage tug Into in 1967, was converted to a pusher in 1991 to be chartered to Rautaruukki Oyj and later ESL Shipping Ltd as the third pusher vessel for the Finnpusku system, a Finnish integrated tug and barge system built in the mid-80s. On 2 March 2004, while heading north with barge Bulk fully laden with coal, Herakles ran into trouble in the Bothnian Sea when both of her main engines began to fail in heavy weather. After the crew was evacuated the combination drifted to the shallows near Swedish Grundkallen lighthouse and was completely destroyed.
