The Greenwing: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

On January 25, 2022, the vessel 'Greenwing' was involved in an oil spill incident during its bunkering operation at the fifth berth of the European Sulfur Terminal in Ust-Luga. During the refueling process, a portion of the fuel oil escaped onto the deck and unfortunately leaked into the surrounding waters. Authorities from the supervisory department promptly initiated an investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding this incident, as well as to evaluate the actions taken by the personnel involved. In response to the spill, Marine Ecology LLC was tasked with implementing pollution response measures to mitigate the environmental impact. The supervisory department also reached out to Marine Ecology LLC to gather information on the amount of fuel that was successfully recovered during the emergency cleanup efforts. Following the incident, a financial assessment regarding the damages caused by the spill will be communicated to the shipping agent for compensation considerations. The 'Greenwing' had arrived in Ust-Luga from the port of Kotka on January 24 and was scheduled to continue its journey to the port of Sillamäe after anchoring off Ust-Luga on January 27.
