Working Conditions Aboard the Amir-Joy

The cargo vessel 'Amir Joy,' while navigating from Varna to Alexandria, encountered a technical malfunction shortly after entering the Canakkale Strait through the northern entrance. The incident occurred at approximately 4 p.m., prompting the ship to drop anchor at Karanlik anchorage for necessary repairs. Fortunately, after the crew completed the repairs, 'Amir Joy' successfully resumed its journey and reached its destination, anchoring off Alexandria around midnight on April 4.

On the evening of May 2, 2023, the cargo vessel 'Maya S' departed from Peters Yard located in Wewelsfleth, with its inaugural destination set for Antwerp. After a successful voyage, the vessel docked at the bustling port of Antwerp on May 4, reaching its destination at 11 a.m. This marks a significant moment for the 'Maya S,' formerly known as 'Anja,' as it embarks on its renewed journey in the maritime industry.

The vessel formerly known as the 'Anja' has officially changed its name to 'Maya S' following a two-year period of lay-up in Wewelsfleth. This transition comes after the ship was sold to the Romanian company, United Marine Compea, and is set to make Giurgiulesti its new homeport. Recently, maintenance work was carried out by Peters Yard, with the crew conducting engine tests on the vessel to ensure it is ready for its next chapter. The 'Maya S' has been stationary since 2014, after an unfortunate incident involving a collision with a mooring in the Elbe port of Bützfleth. Subsequently, MS 'Anja' Schifffahrtsgesellschaft mbH & Co. Reederei KG went bankrupt, leading to the appointment of an administrator by the District Court to oversee the ship's custody. Thankfully, these efforts have culminated in finding a new buyer for the vessel.
