Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Henry-Maersk

On August 7, 2024, a critical rescue operation unfolded as Port Authorities from Katakolo, Zakynthos, and Kefallinia received alarming reports about a distressed sailing vessel approximately 26 nautical miles west of Zakynthos. The situation prompted nearby ships to respond, with the 'Henry Maersk' taking charge of the rescue mission. The crew aboard this tanker successfully pulled 74 individuals from perilous waters, including 53 men, nine women, and 12 minors. Following the rescue, they were escorted to the port of Katakolon by a lifeboat. Upon arrival, the migrants were transferred to the passenger ferry 'Mimis G.', which facilitated their safe landing at the port. Investigations by the Port Authority of Katakolo, working in conjunction with the Directorate of Security and Protection of Maritime Borders, revealed that the vessel had departed from the Marmaris region and was en route to Italy. In connection with this incident, authorities apprehended five individuals for breaching Article 30, Paragraph 1C of Law 4251/2014 (Immigration and Social Integration Code) and Article 306 of the Penal Code. This event highlights the ongoing challenges faced by migrants in their quest for safety and stability.

On February 22, 2021, a minor bunker oil spill occurred from the tanker 'Henry Marsk' in Burrard Inlet. In response, the Western Canada Marine Response Corporation swiftly deployed their pollution control vessel, 'Texada Sentinel', with a skilled crew of four, at approximately 10:30 a.m. The spill happened at the anchorage point between Cates Park/Whey-ah-Wichen and Belcarra Regional Park during the refueling process. A fuel burp during this operation resulted in some fuel spilling onto the deck, with roughly three liters entering the waterway. The response team quickly implemented preventive measures by placing a second containment boom around the vessel and initiating hull cleaning procedures. Authorities indicated that the impact of the spill was minimal and is unlikely to cause long-term damage to the environment. Transport Canada’s pollution monitoring aircraft has conducted aerial surveys of the area, while the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority's tender, 'Takaya', and two tugboats were also present to assist in the response efforts.
