Amisia Vessel Reviews and Specifications

On December 9, 2018, the cargo vessel "Amber" encountered difficulties as it grounded on a sandbar while navigating into the port of Hornafjordur. The ship, which had departed from Ceuta on December 1, was carrying a load of salt at the time of the incident. Initial efforts to refloat the vessel during the evening high tide proved unsuccessful. However, perseverance paid off, and the "Amber" was finally successfully refloated with the incoming tide on December 11. The ship was then able to safely berth in Hoefn at 11:10 a.m., marking the end of a challenging episode for the crew and operators.

The "Amber" has successfully undergone extensive repairs to address fire damage sustained earlier, with workers at Astilleros Guadalquivir in Seville diligently sand-blasting and repainting affected areas. These repair efforts were anticipated to wrap up by January 25, with an inspection scheduled to evaluate the vessel's restoration progress on that date.

The cargo vessel "Amber" is currently undergoing repairs at Astilleros del Guadalquivir following a fire incident that occurred on December 31, 2017, in the Port of Seville. The fire ignited due to a fermentation process related to the ship's cargo of fermented beet products. On January 13, the vessel was relocated to the Armament Dock to initiate repair efforts, which are projected to be completed by January 16. The scope of repairs includes the restoration of the damaged cargo hold, alongside thorough cleaning and repainting of the affected areas. Reports indicate that the fire was caused by spontaneous combustion triggered by high humidity levels.
