Amar-Glyfada Vessel Reviews and Specifications

A devastating fire erupted in the engine room of the 'Amar Glyfada', resulting in the tragic loss of four lives on August 8, 2024. The vessel was in the midst of repairs at Midia Naval Shipyard when the incident occurred. Responding promptly to the emergency, firefighting crews, including five fire trucks, a specialized ladder truck, and two SMURD medical teams, were dispatched to the scene to combat the blaze. Investigations reveal that the Romanian Naval Authority had not issued a Gas Free certificate for the area where the repairs were taking place. This certification is crucial as it ensures that the compartment is devoid of flammable gases, making it safe for maintenance activities. Currently, the inspection by the ANR is only performed upon request by the shipowner. However, due to the high costs associated with the procedure, shipowners seldom make such requests.
