Read Authentic Ratings for the Korsaro

On June 3, 2013, the Hamburg Water Police conducted an inspection of the tanker 'Korsaro' while it was docked at berth Rethe Kruse. The vessel had arrived from Porsgrunn on June 1. During the thorough examination of the ship's certificates and equipment, authorities discovered that the ship's diesel generators and auxiliary boiler had not switched from high-sulfur fuel (exceeding 1% sulfur content) to low-sulfur fuel (capped at 0.1% sulfur content) as mandated by regulations. In response to this violation, officials collected fuel samples for detailed laboratory analysis. The chief engineer, hailing from Italy, along with two engineers, was required to post guarantees totaling €10,630.50. Following these proceedings, the 'Korsaro' departed Hamburg at 9:45 AM on June 4, heading towards New York.
