Msc-Jenny-Ii Vessel Reviews and Specifications

In a significant drug bust, Customs Surveillance Agents unveiled a cache of cocaine concealed within the refrigerator container of the MSC Jenny. This operation took place on April 19, 2020, at the Noatum Container Terminal in the bustling port of Bilbao. The cocaine, cleverly hidden among legitimate banana shipments, has raised concerns about the methods used by traffickers to deceive both sellers and buyers. As of now, authorities have not confirmed any arrests or disclosed the total quantity of cocaine seized during this operation. The vigilance of Customs agents highlights the ongoing battle against drug trafficking in maritime environments.

The container vessel 'MSC Jenny' departed from Gijón on March 30, 2020, but is now under scrutiny following a confirmed case of coronavirus among its crew. The ship, which features an International Maritime Organization (IMO) number that identifies it on the high seas, has been instructed to remain near the Punta Lucero area, as it awaits authorization to dock at the Port of Bilbao. This delay is due to a necessary health inspection by Foreign Health authorities to assess any potential health risks. Reports indicate that the infected crew member did not adhere to the required 15-day quarantine protocol, posing a risk to the approximately 20 sailors aboard, who come from various nationalities, predominantly India. After the ship's arrival in Gijón, the appropriate disinfection measures were implemented, but these actions did not substitute for the mandated isolation period. The 'MSC Jenny' finally secured a berth at the Noatum Container Terminal, docks A1 and A2 in Bilbao, on March 31, 2020, at 6:30 p.m. With nearly all crew members having had direct exposure to the infected sailor, the Port of Bilbao has urged the Basque Institute for Occupational Safety and Health to recommend quarantine measures while awaiting results from health tests, which are expected to take several days.
