Petra-Ii Vessel Reviews and Specifications

In a high-stakes maritime operation, the cargo vessel 'Langeland' was apprehended by Spanish authorities in the early hours of October 11, 2017. The interception took place approximately 15 miles from Ceuta in the Alboran Sea, shortly after the ship navigated past Gibraltar. The Spanish Coast Guard, alongside law enforcement agents, acted on suspicions that the 'Langeland' was involved in drug smuggling activities. By midday, the ship was towed to the Port of Malaga with the assistance of the tug 'Vehintiocho' while under the watchful eye of patrol boats from the Maritime Guardia Civil and Customs officials. The vessel docked at Romero Dobledo Quay for an extensive examination to investigate the allegations further. As of the evening of the same day, authorities reported no findings from the initial searches. The 'Langeland' is noted to have a crew of 12 Turkish nationals and was en route from Kingston to Iskenderun carrying a cargo of flour.

On August 18, 2016, the vessel 'Langeland' departed from Emden after a four-month layup. The ship is now en route to Castellon, with an expected arrival date of August 27, following its sale to Ferat Ucat Kuzey Shipping, based in Istanbul. This transition marks a significant move for the maritime community, highlighting ongoing trade connections.

On March 13, 2014, the vessel 'Langeland' was involved in an oil spill incident while docked at the North Quay in the port of Emden. The spill occurred when a hydraulic hose malfunctioned while the crew was opening the cargo holds, resulting in the leakage of approximately 0.1 tons of hydraulic fuel. Alarmingly, around 20 liters of this fuel made its way into the harbour basin. In response, Emden’s fire rescue team swiftly deployed an oil boom to contain the spill and mitigate environmental damage. Following the incident, the ship's captain faced an investigation by police authorities and was required to pay a safety bond of 1,000 Euros.
