Status of ship:Broken up since 19-02-2013 (Equasis)

In October 2010, Hilde G arrived in Saint-Malo (France) with 3,950 t of
ammonium phosphate. The seafarers who had not got their wages paid for
several months went on strike before the cargo was unloaded.
The maritime security inspector in Saint-Malo pointed out about 20
deficiencies. The ship was seized at the request of both an Arcelor Mittal
representative for a cargo dispute and the ITF (International Transport
Workers Federation) for non-payment of 112,000 € in crew salaries. The 14
seafarers (10 Georgians, 3 Ukrainians and 1 Azeri) were repatriated late
December 2010. The Turkish shipowner was no longer giving sign of life and a
legal action for withdrawal of property was therefore brought.
Hilde G has been rusting for 2 years in Saint-Malo. Late October 2012, she
was auctioned off and acquired by the metal recycler AFM Recyclage
established in Bassens for 151.200 € (198.000 US$), i.e. 90 US$ per ton. The
ship should be broken up in Bassens drydock, following the Matterhorn
dismantling by Bartin / Véolia which is about to end up. With 17 detentions
from 1998 to 2010, Hilde G wins the gold medal of sub-standard ships.
