VLCC Tanker Completed Repairs, But Was Disabled By Positive Test

.The VLCC Tanker; AMUNDSEN SPIRIT whose crew tested positive for COVID-19, prior to departure from Gdansk Poland last week

A very large crude oil tanker AMUNDSEN SPIRIT sailed from Gdansk Poland on Aug 10 after completing repairs at Pilsudski Shipyard, but had to anchor at outer anchorage same day, after 13 out of 32 crew were tested positive prior to departure. One crew was taken to hospital, but character of his illness is unknown. The rest of the crew remain on board, Polish Authorities said they have no authority over tanker, because she’s anchored in international waters, so probably, tanker may leave anchorage and sail away. If say, there’s a pending voyage of 14+days duration, that will be quarantine in itself, though authorities globally, in most part, lost common sense long ago, and may quarantine hapless tanker, notwithstanding time she spent at sea. As of afternoon Aug 12, she was still at anchor.
