Reviews & Ratings for the Beaumaiden

In a recent maritime incident, a 38-year-old captain from the Netherlands has faced serious repercussions after the ship 'Beaumaiden' ran aground near Sorthat-Muleby on October 18, 2021. The captain has been handed a hefty fine of 56,000 Danish crowns and has had his sailing license revoked for a duration of one year. Investigations revealed that the captain's blood alcohol level was over 1.55 per thousand during the mishap, raising grave concerns over his ability to operate the vessel safely. Alarming details emerged indicating that the captain left the bridge unattended without designating anyone to take over, resulting in a four-hour gap where no one was at the helm. The legal proceedings against him escalated, and in October 2022, he was officially charged. Notably, the captain did not attend the court session held on January 25, 2023. He has the option to appeal this verdict within a 14-day window; should he choose to do so, his case will be reviewed by the Eastern High Court. If no appeal is lodged, the district court's ruling will stand as final.
