Maersk-Newbury Vessel Reviews and Specifications

On October 2, 2018, the container vessel 'Maersk Newbury' became the target of a pirate attack while navigating under pilot guidance in the Guayaquil River, Ecuador. The vessel's master promptly notified local authorities upon spotting unauthorized individuals aboard. During the incident, one crew member was unfortunately assaulted, suffering a minor cut to the forehead. Fortunately, the crew was able to evacuate and seek refuge in the forecastle store until the robbers realized they had been detected and subsequently fled. The Ecuador Coast Guard (ECG) carried out a thorough search of the vessel but found no evidence of the intruders. Following first-aid assistance provided to the injured crew member, the 'Maersk Newbury' was able to continue its journey without further incidents, with no additional injuries reported among the crew and no possessions stolen.
