The Alexandros-Iii: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

On the evening of May 27, 2017, a minor oil spill occurred during a bunkering operation involving the bulk carrier MV Koznitza in Skagen anchorage, located in the Kattegat. The incident resulted in an estimated one to two cubic meters of bunker fuel leaking overboard. The MV Koznitza, which had arrived from Riga, was refueling from the bunker tanker Aalborg (IMO: 9327475) when the leak took place. Authorities are monitoring the situation to prevent environmental impact.

On the morning of March 27, 2017, at 06:37 AM, the vessel 'Koznitza' experienced an engine malfunction approximately 14 nautical miles north of Kildin Island in the Barents Sea, as it was making its way to Murmansk. The ship's captain promptly sought the assistance of a tugboat, leading to the deployment of the 'Murmanryba' to the scene. After repairs were successfully completed, the 'Koznitza' reported its engine was operational again by 09:34 AM. It then continued its voyage to Murmansk under the safe escort of the tug, ultimately reaching the port at 2:15 PM.
