In February of 2020 a crewmember was injured onboard this ship and the US Coast Guard medevaced him from the Titania and took him to Greenville Pit Memorial Hospital in Greenville. This Coast Guard News item includes video.

I found two videos of this ship besides my own, both by friend of Baltimore Shipspotting binmei.jp, this one from 2014 and this one from 2018 both in Japan’s Kanmon Strait.

8422-1 Roros Tysla and Titiana with tug Gramma Lee T Moran on the latter

In my 10 minute video below she can be seen approaching on the Patapsco River as she makes her way towards Baltimore, Maryland. Pilot boat Baltimore approaches to put a pilot aboard. As she nears it can be seen that her paint has begun to fade. Perhaps she will be due for drydock time soon.

8484-1 Tug Gramma Lee T Moran and Titiana

After she passes under the Key Bridge the tug Gramma Lee T Moran comes alongside to lend docking assistance. In the same scene a pilot can be seen beginning the descent to the pilot boat. After a location switch she can be seen docking behind the Tysla, another Wallenius Wilhelmsen ship. The tug Gramma Lee T Moran can be seen making her way back to base after finishing her work with the Titania.
