Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Adriata

On December 11, 2012, the 'Chopin' was apprehended by maritime authorities at berth 43 in the Rostock seaport. This action came after the water police discovered oil residues unlawfully stored in the vessel's sewage tank during a routine inspection. Further investigations revealed additional violations, leading to the ship's detention. A Polish company has been engaged to undertake the cleanup of the contaminated tank. The 'Chopin' was en route to Frederikshavn, transporting rotor blades for wind turbines, and had arrived in Rostock on December 9. In the wake of these findings, criminal charges have been initiated against the ship's Russian technical officer.

On September 13, 2012, the German cargo ship Chopin encountered a mishap while attempting to dock in the Big Port of St. Petersburg. During the docking process, the freighter made contact with the anchored German reefer ship Atlantic Mermaid before subsequently colliding with Berth 20. An investigation into the incident revealed that the pilot on board the Chopin attributed the accident to the vessel's Master, who allegedly failed to heed the pilot's advice regarding the strong local currents. Despite the recommendations, the Master opted not to engage a tugboat, persisting in his attempt to maneuver the vessel unaided. Currently, the extent of the damages sustained by both ships and the port infrastructure remains undetermined. For more details, visit Maritime Bulletin at http://www.odin.tc.
