Initial report The vessel received poor-quality fuel during bunkering, which was not detected in the supplied samples. After departure, the ship lost propulsion in the middle of the night. This occurred because the fuel oil was supplied directly to the fuel oil service tank (FOST/day tank), bypassing the bunker, settling tanks, and purifier.
