Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Marietje-Deborah

In a significant enforcement action, the Las Palmas Maritime Authority (Capitanía Marítima de Las Palmas) has detained the vessel 'Marietje Deborah' and enforced a hefty security deposit of 50,000 euros after the ship's captain was found to exceed both national and international alcohol limits. This incident, reported on July 9, 2026, by the Dirección General de la Marina Mercante – part of Spain's Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility – was instigated by a notification from the Dutch maritime administration. Before setting sail from the port of Las Palmas on Gran Canaria, authorities received an email alerting them to suspicions regarding a crew member's potential intoxication. Promptly responding to the alert, Las Palmas Harbor Master Ignacio Gallego implemented a hold on the ship, preventing its departure. In collaboration with the Civil Guard (Guardia Civil), the entire crew underwent breathalyzer tests. Only the captain was found to have exceeded the legal limit of 0.25 milligrams of alcohol per liter of breath, adhering to both Spanish laws and international maritime safety regulations. Consequently, immediate detention of the 'Marietje Deborah' was ordered, necessitating that the vessel remains at the port of Las Palmas until all regulatory checks are finalized.
