Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Seamarlin

In a significant development, Gazpromneft Marine Bunker LLC (Gazpromneft) successfully completed its inaugural ship supply of lubricating oil to a Chevron Corporation (Chevron)-operated vessel at the Russian port of Ust-Luga on Wednesday. During this operation, the Gazpromneft West vessel delivered an impressive 13.5 tonnes of TARO 40 XL 40 X to the Seamarlin tanker, which boasts a deadweight tonnage of 40,549 DWT. This milestone is part of a broader agreement established in 2012 between Gazpromneft and Chevron, which encompasses the production and provision of marine oils sourced from Omsk and Moscow refineries under the Chevron brand. Furthermore, the agreement facilitates deliveries across Russia and the Baltic states, marking an essential step for both companies in enhancing their operational collaboration.

On September 14, 2010, at 8:15 a.m., the Falmouth Coastguard received an urgent contact from the master of the tanker 'Sea Marlin' (IMO 9380489). The call was triggered by a pan pan communication from a nearby yacht that had suffered a dismasting incident and was in distress. Recognizing the gravity of the situation, the Coastguard promptly utilized the tanker’s capabilities as a communication link and requested the Sea Marlin's master to alter course to assist the stranded yacht. Demonstrating commendable seamanship, the tanker master complied, standing by to create a lee for the beleaguered vessel while awaiting the arrival of the Penlee RNLI lifeboat. Following the lifeboat's launch, the yacht was successfully brought under tow, while the Sea Marlin continued its journey, having fulfilled a critical role in the rescue effort.
