The master of the wrecked bulker OS 35 will not be imprisoned over the grounding off Gibraltar last August.
GBC reported that 53-year-old Syrian captain Abdulbar Kaddoura was handed a four-month sentence suspended for a year by Gibraltar’s Supreme Court.
The 35,400-dwt handysize OS 35 (built 1999) was deliberately grounded off Gibraltar after a collision with the 165,000-cbm gas carrier Adam LNG (built 2014), which was at anchor.
