Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Astrol-1

On the evening of September 22, 2025, Copenhagen Airport was thrust into chaos following a large-scale drone attack that led to the cancellation or diversion of approximately 150 flights. The unprecedented incident has prompted an intensive investigation involving three suspicious vessels, including the 'Astrol 1'. This sanctioned ship was noted for its erratic maneuvers while navigating the Øresund Strait, coinciding with the drone operations above Kastrup Airport. The vessel's timing and behavior have raised significant concerns about possible maritime-aerial coordination. Additionally, the tanker 'Pushpa' (IMO: 9332810), registered in Benin and under sanctions for transporting Russian oil, has also come under scrutiny. It was observed for several hours by a German NATO warship, highlighting the heightened security risks associated with its presence during the drone attack. Furthermore, the Norwegian cargo ship 'Oslo Carrier 3' (IMO: 9366146) was located just seven kilometers from Kastrup Airport, where it was monitored as authorities pursued the drones. Notably, several crew members aboard this vessel spoke Russian, and the ship's owner has ties to Kaliningrad, Russia, increasing its relevance in the ongoing investigation. This drone attack on one of Northern Europe's busiest airports is considered one of the gravest security events in the region’s aviation history, forcing Kastrup Airport, which serves nearly 30 million passengers each year, into a complete shutdown as authorities worked to manage the situation.
