Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Spabunker-Cuarenta

On July 18, 2023, authorities in Ceuta took decisive action to detain the Antigua Barbuda-flagged container vessel m/v 'Tony Stark' (IMO: 9046423) after a significant fuel oil spill occurred during a bunkering operation. The incident transpired while the ship was anchored at position 35° 54.67' N 005° 19.60' W, as it was traveling from Bilbao to Manfredonia. An estimated one ton of fuel oil was released into the water from the bunkering vessel 'Spabunker Cuarenta'. In response, the Search and Rescue vessel 'Salvamar Atria', operated by Salvamento Marítimo, was dispatched to the scene to deploy an oil boom, effectively containing the spill. Additionally, the local environmental firm Ecoceuta assisted in extending the containment barrier behind the vessel to mitigate further environmental impact. Meanwhile, inspectors from the Captaincy were on-site conducting a thorough inspection under the Port State Control Memorandum of Understanding to gather details about the spill. Following an assessment of the situation, the Maritime Captaincy of Ceuta plans to initiate a sanctioning process and will require a guarantee before permitting the 'Tony Stark' to continue its journey.
