What Crew Members Say About Lelie-C

On October 9, 2014, an incident unfolded in the northern lock of the Kiel Canal, located in Brunsbüttel, when local law enforcement officers detected a strong odor of alcohol coming from the wheelhouse of the vessel 'Lelie'. Authorities conducted a breathalyzer test on the 38-year-old captain, which revealed an alcohol concentration of 1.2 per thousand, prompting immediate intervention. Following the incident, the captain was fined for safety violations. The 'Lelie', which was en route from Bristol to Stockvik, was instructed to dock at the South Quay in Brunsbüttel at 10 a.m. After ensuring the safety of the ship and its crew, the vessel was cleared to resume its journey around 4 p.m. with a replacement captain on board.
