The environmental group AGADEN will demand the Port Authority of Algeciras to have the MED STAR (Intershipping) withdrawn and scrapped.
AGADEN started to publish a press release and a video, showing the vessel with dense smoke coming out of the funnel. The group considers that the ship has reached the end of its useful life.
