Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Msc-Regulus

On February 9, 2020, the container ship 'MSC Regulus' experienced a dramatic incident when it broke free from its moorings at the Eurogate Terminal in the bustling port of Hamburg. This event unfolded in the midst of the fierce winds brought on by Storm Ciara. Having arrived in the port from Felixstowe a day prior, on February 8 at 3:30 PM, the vessel was caught off guard by the intensifying weather conditions. Fortunately, nearby tugs 'ZP Boxer' (IMO: 9597355) and 'SD Rover' (IMO: 9618745) sprang into action, swiftly rushing to the aid of the drifting ship. The tugs expertly maneuvered to push the 'MSC Regulus' back to its designated berth, ensuring its safety. Moreover, on February 10, the tug 'ZP Boxer' remained on site to further secure the container ship from the side, reinforcing its stability against the ongoing storm.

In a heartbreaking maritime incident, the container vessel 'MSC Regulus' collided with the fishing boat 'Don Gerardo 2' on December 17, 2016, at approximately 5 a.m. This tragic accident occurred about 216 nautical miles southwest of Puntilla de Santa Elena, specifically at coordinates 03º 26'S 84º 23'W, near Zorritos in Peru. The fishing boat, which had set sail from Manta on December 14, sank as a result of the collision, leading to the loss of at least five lives, with six individuals still unaccounted for. Fortunately, 12 survivors were rescued by the nearby vessels 'Sienore Mary' and 'Eduardo II'. After the incident, the 'MSC Regulus', which had departed from Callao on December 15 en route to Lazaro Cárdenas, dropped anchor at the scene to assist in the rescue operation. The area of search covered a radius of 15 miles, with multiple civilian ships joining in the search and rescue efforts that spanned the weekend. By 1:00 p.m. on December 17, the Coast Guard vessel 'Fernandina Island' was dispatched, carrying medical personnel and divers, alongside an aircraft that had taken off from Puerto Manta with the owner of 'Don Gerardo II' on board, to facilitate the ongoing search efforts.
