Shipmaster was drunk in charge of Port of Felixstowe

A container ship's master has admitted being more than
two-and-a-half times the legal limit for alcohol while in charge of
a vessel at a Suffolk port, a court heard.
Zbigniew Chowaniec was arrested at the Port of Felixstowe on Monday
afte
r being found with 93 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of
breath. The legal limit is 35 micrograms of alcohol.
On Tuesday, he appeared before Suffolk Magistrates' Court and
pleaded guilty to being over the legal limit while in charge of the
MSC Roshney V cargo ship.
The Liberia-flagged boat docked at Felixstowe at 6.24am on Monday
and subsequently left the port at 11.17am on Tuesday, headed for
Canakkale in north-west Turkey.
Prior to arriving at Felixstowe, the ship, which is 294m in length
with a 32m beam, had spent four days at Antwerp in Belgium.
As of 5pm on Tuesday, the vessel, which has a gross tonnage of
55,487, was positioned in the English Channel.
The EADT understands that Chowaniec was arrested after a pilot
became suspicious that he was over the limit for alcohol after
boarding the MSC Roshney V to guide it into port.
The pilots travel out by boat to meet incoming ships and guide them
safely into port and in this case the pilot had travelled out from
Harwich to meet the Roshney.
Subsequently, the pilot notified the port authorities of his
suspicions and the port police attended once the vessel had docked
to arrest the master and hand him over to Suffolk police.
During his court appearance, Chowaniec, who comes from Tarnobrzeg
in Poland, was granted conditional bail to appear at Ipswich Crown
Court for sentencing on February 12.
