Read Authentic Ratings for the Celtic-Ambassador

On January 18, 2018, in a concerning development, the vessel 'Frontera' was involved in an oil spillage incident while conducting bunkering operations along the Kiel Canal. The ship was maneuvering towards Helsingborg after departing from Gibraltar and was stopped at the Bominflot Quay in Kiel when approximately 2,000 liters of diesel were accidentally released into the water. Quick action by the local fire brigade helped to mitigate the spill as oil booms were deployed around the ship to contain the diesel. A subsequent inspection revealed that only an estimated 200 liters had actually entered the water due to a malfunctioning pipe onboard. Following this unfortunate event, the 'Frontera' was permitted to leave Kiel that same evening, with a planned arrival in Helsingborg by 3 p.m. on January 19, 2018. Additionally, an investigation has been initiated against the crew for potential violations related to water pollution.
