Green-Crystal Vessel Reviews and Specifications

On June 11, 2025, the 'Green Crystal', stationed in the southern area of the Port of Las Palmas, faced an urgent situation that called for a medical evacuation of one of its crew members. In response, the CCS Las Palmas from Salvamento Marítimo sprang into action, deploying the SAR helicopter, Helimer 202. The efficient operation successfully hoisted the patient from the vessel and airlifted them to the helipad at Doctor Negrín Hospital for prompt medical attention.

The refrigerated cargo vessel Green Crystal, previously classified as not under command due to a fuel pipe leakage, has successfully resumed operations. The ship is now actively underway using its engine. Monitoring reports indicate that the Green Crystal is traveling at a speed of 16.2 knots on a steady course of 211 degrees.

The reefer vessel Green Crystal (IMO: 5084 gt, built in 1992) has been reported as not under command after experiencing a fuel pipe leakage while navigating from Ymuiden to Douala. The incident occurred at 07:55 UTC on July 6, approximately 27 nautical miles southwest of The Needles, Isle of Wight, with coordinates 50°13'01.2"N and 1°44'36.6"W. Currently, there are 14 crew members on board. Repairs are anticipated to take between two and a half to three hours. The Green Crystal is transporting 4000 metric tonnes of frozen fish and holds 377.1 metric tonnes of heavy oil as well as 84.9 metric tonnes of low sulphur fuel oil. The weather conditions are relatively favorable, with wind speeds from variable directions at Beaufort 3 or lower, increasing to Beaufort 4 at times. The sea state is smooth, occasionally slight, and visibility remains good throughout the area.
