What Crew Members Say About Pleiades-Spirit

On May 15, 2011, port authorities in Malta identified a slight presence of nuclear contamination on the vessel 'Pleiades Spirit' (IMO 9409326). The ship, which had arrived carrying a shipment of 105 used cars, prompted safety precautions after radioactivity was detected on two vehicles: a car and a van. Workers at the port were advised to maintain their distance from these vehicles as a precautionary measure. Following the incident, the 'Pleiades Spirit' continued its journey, departing Malta in the evening. Authorities at subsequent ports of call are being notified of the situation to ensure safety protocols are in place.
