Zagor Ship Details and Seafarer Feedback

On August 31, 2026, the vessel 'Zagor' was detained in Karadeniz Ereğli due to a total of 18 safety deficiencies. Among these, five were classified as critical enough to warrant detention, including: 1) Fire safety issues related to inoperative jacketed high-pressure lines and oil leakage alarms; 2) Serious structural concerns regarding deck corrosion; 3) Radio communication facilities failing to meet the required standards for receiving marine safety information; 4) Emergency fire drill training deficiencies; and 5) Non-compliance with the ISM code due to an inadequate ISM certificate. After addressing these concerns, 'Zagor' was released on September 3 and departed for Istanbul Anchorage. Notably, this incident follows a previous detention on February 6, when the vessel was held in Güllük for two days due to 13 separate deficiencies. It remains crucial for maritime operators to uphold safety standards to prevent such detentions in the future.

On November 4, 2019, around 6 p.m., the freighter 'Active' was responsible for a significant oil spill while docked at Lindenhof in Bremen-Gröpelingen. The incident occurred after the vessel discharged a substantial quantity of fuel, leading to an immediate response from the fire rescue services, which deployed specialized units to handle the situation. An oil boom was set up around the contaminated vessel to contain the spill, which affected a considerable area measuring approximately 80 by 300 meters. The 'Active' had previously docked at the grain port on November 1 at 3 p.m., arriving from Liepaja.
