Ship detained after engine malfunction
On July 17, 2019, the "Maersk Sembawang" was stopped due to the malfunctioning of its main machine and excessive emissions after the traffic control of the port of Algeciras detected an excessive exit of smoke from the main engine. The Maritime Captaincy imposed a guarantee of 20,000 Euros for the release of the ship which was heading to the Juan Carlos I pier of the port of Algeciras. The shipping company immediately rectified the detected problem as required. The ship berthed in Algeciras on July 18 at 2.15 p.m. and continued the voyage on July 19 at 1.15 p.m. to Valencia, where it arrived on July 21 around midnight.
