Plantijngracht Vessel Reviews and Specifications

The crew of 12 sailors aboard the cargo vessel 'Hong' has found themselves in a prolonged predicament, marooned in the waters of Baie-Comeau for the past nine months due to a complex commercial dispute. The ship docked on December 16, 2014, delivering a load of alumina intended for Alcoa. Following its arrival, ownership of the vessel changed hands, leading to a contentious legal battle between the seller and the buyer, Auerbach Bereederung, a German company. The dispute is currently under review at the Federal Court, where the resolution is critical for the release of the 'Hong'. Throughout this challenging period, Transport Canada has confirmed that the sailors' living conditions remain satisfactory and that the vessel meets all necessary safety regulations. Initially wintering at the Cargill grain wharf, the ship has since been relocated to a more cost-effective anchorage within the harbor.
