Anton-Gurin Vessel Reviews and Specifications

On the morning of March 19, 2017, the refrigerated cargo ship 'Anton Gurin' is suspected of having collided with a 4.9-ton fishing vessel approximately 30 miles southeast of Yeosu in the East China Sea. Following the incident, the 'Anton Gurin' allegedly left the scene, raising concerns about a hit-and-run accident. The fishing boat capsized but managed to stay afloat upside down. Salvage operations were promptly initiated, and responders successfully towed the vessel to safety at port. Tragically, while one fisherman was rescued, another remains unaccounted for. The 'Anton Gurin', which was on its route from Busan to Qingdao at the time of the incident, has since been detained at Yeosu's port anchorage. The ship's 2nd officer, who was on duty during the collision, has been arrested as the investigation unfolds.

On January 5, 2010, the formidable heavy icebreaker "Admiral Makarov" successfully conducted a rescue operation in Sakhalin Bay, located off the northern coast of Sakhalin Island in the Sea of Okhotsk. This dramatic intervention liberated three vessels trapped in the treacherous ice. Among those rescued was the small harbor icebreaker known as "Magadan," along with the fishing trawler "Mys Elizavety" (IMO: 7717016) and the vessel "Anton Gurin" (IMO: 8723402). The action exemplified the essential role of icebreakers in ensuring maritime safety during harsh winter conditions.
