On May 20, law enforcement officials from the National Unit of the police conducted a thorough boarding of the vessel 'Julia' in the western harbor area of Amsterdam following a troubling incident. A 26-year-old Ukrainian cook on the vessel was found dead under circumstances that raised alarm. This prompted intervention at the request of Cypriot authorities, leading to the arrest of 11 crew members. The tragic event unfolded when the young cook reportedly fell overboard while the ship was navigating through the English Channel. Despite the crew's efforts to retrieve him and bring him back aboard, he was pronounced dead. Upon the vessel's arrival in Amsterdam, local police initiated an extensive investigation into the incident to uncover the truth behind the crew member’s untimely demise.

A Ukrainian sailor has gone missing after reportedly falling overboard from the tanker 'Julia' on May 18, 2014. The vessel was on a voyage from Liverpool to Amsterdam when the incident occurred approximately 24 nautical miles north of Cherbourg. The CROSS Jobourg was notified of the situation by the crew of the 'Julia,' prompting an extensive search and rescue operation. The operations team employed an EC 225 helicopter from the Navy Base in Maupertus, along with an F50 aircraft carrying out scheduled maritime surveillance from the Navy Base in Lann Bihoué. Additionally, a British Agusta helicopter from Portland joined the search efforts. After several hours of unsuccessful searching, the Maritime Prefect made the difficult decision to cease active search operations.
