Reviews & Ratings for the Amgu

On March 8, 2014, the cargo ship 'Amgu,' which had embarked from St. Petersburg on March 2, encountered a challenging situation while navigating westbound through the Kiel Canal. The vessel inadvertently ran aground at Dükerswisch/Hohenhörn. Fortunately, within a few hours, specifically at 7:35 a.m., the 'Amgu' managed to refloat itself. Following this, the ship docked at the railway station pilings in Brunsbüttel around 9:30 a.m. for a thorough inspection of potential damages. By 6 p.m. that same day, the vessel resumed its journey and is slated to arrive at its destination, Port Said, by March 20.

In a recent maritime transaction, a vessel has been sold to a Russian buyer for an impressive sum of $1 million. This sale marks a significant event in the shipping industry and highlights the ongoing global interest in maritime assets. Details regarding the vessel, including its specifications and IMO number, are yet to be disclosed, but the deal is expected to impact the market positively. As the maritime sector continues to evolve, this sale is a notable example of the financial movements that shape the industry.

The maritime saga of the 'Barbara' took a new turn as the vessel was auctioned following its arrest in Assens. This incident dates back to December 22, 2012, when the 'Barbara' docked only to find itself entangled in legal complications. The arrest was executed by the law firm Nordia, located in Odense, acting on behalf of a shipyard in Gibraltar. Compounding the situation, the crew of the 'Barbara' faced overdue wage payments, leading to the involvement of the International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) in the arrest proceedings. With the auction now concluded, payment obligations to both the shipyard and the crew—who had disembarked before the sale—are set to be fulfilled. The vessel's former owner, Intersee Schifffahrts GmbH, based in Haren/Ems, has faced similar issues previously, with other ships, including the m/v 'Julietta', also facing detention due to wage-related debts. This case highlights the persistent challenges within the shipping industry regarding crew compensation and legal liabilities.
