IMO 2020 Regulation Causing Engine Failures?

• Container ship MSC ELEONORA suffered engine failure while transiting Dardanelles in northern direction in the afternoon Nov 16, en route from Ashdod to Constanta Romania.
• The ship was anchored at Kumkale anchorage, southern Dardanelles.
• She fixed problem and resumed sailing in the afternoon Nov 18.
• As of morning Nov 19, she was proceeding in Marmara sea at a reduced speed of some 7 knots, probably to fit into Bosphorus transit schedule.

According to news article in Maritime Bulletin written by Mikhail Voytenko , it is clear that a container ship suffers engine failure while while transiting Dardanelles in northern direction in the afternoon Nov 16, en route from Ashdod to Constanta Romania.

What was the cause of engine failure?

This type of accidents (plus another one – explosions in engine rooms, followed by fire) is on the sharp rise since the beginning of this year, with Sulphur Cap Regulation coming into force.

Is the data open to public?

Are they related? Will statistics and analysis of engines related accidents be open for public?

Clean green shipping agenda seems to yield exactly opposite results – it’s dirty, explosive, dangerous and with that, very expensive, for all interested/involved parties, from owners/crews to charterers and final consumers of the goods, transported by ships.

But that’s exactly the result which should be expected, when leftist radicals start ruling (ruining) the society and industries.
