Read Authentic Ratings for the Gotland

On March 26, 2016, the cement carrier 'Gotland' was the center of an environmental concern after a significant spill occurred in Rostock Port. More than 100 liters of gas oil were accidentally released into the harbor, resulting in an extensive oil slick measuring approximately 850 meters across the water's surface. Emergency response efforts were swiftly mobilized, with an oil spill response vessel deployed by firefighters and other emergency personnel to mitigate the environmental damage. Authorities have begun investigating the incident, citing potential malfunction of the tanker’s level indicator or excessive pumping capacity as possible causes. As a result of the spill, criminal charges have been filed against the ship's captain and crew, alongside a financial security deposit of 8,000 euros collected from the vessel’s command team.
