Reviews & Ratings for the Shigaraki

On January 21, 2019, a significant fuel oil spill transpired at the Ust-Luga port during the bunkering process of the bulk carrier 'Lowlands Horizon.' The spill occurred at 9:35 p.m. while the vessel was receiving fuel from the tanker 'Vanino' at the coal terminal quay. The bunkering operation was promptly halted to prevent further leakage, and the crew of the 'Lowlands Horizon' swiftly commenced the collection of the spilled oil. By 11:30 p.m., two inspectors from the Ust-Luga Port Control arrived on scene to evaluate the extent of the environmental impact caused by the incident. Initial assessments suggested that approximately 3-5 cubic meters of fuel oil were present on the deck and sides of the vessel, with an additional 50-100 kg of fuel oil trapped in the ice adjacent to the ship. An investigation into the underlying causes of this spill has since been launched to ensure compliance and enhance safety measures in future operations.
