Reviews & Ratings for the Ice-Glacier

On September 27, 2017, the Greek Coast Guard took action against the crew of the reefer vessel 'Ice Glacier' during a bunkering operation in the Piraeus harbor. The incident was triggered by an oil leak due to a malfunctioning vent, leading to a spill of heavy fuel on deck. Unfortunately, some of this fuel entered the water, contaminating approximately 70 square meters of the sea surface. Acting swiftly, the vessel's master reported the leak to maritime authorities, and the crew initiated cleanup protocols immediately. A specialized private company was engaged to manage the remediation process. Maritime authorities subsequently required a letter of guarantee from the ship's management to address potential fines arising from the pollution incident. Following the necessary legal procedures, both the master and the chief engineer were released, allowing the 'Ice Glacier' to resume its journey, departing from Piraeus on September 28 and heading towards Canakkale, with an expected arrival on September 29.
