Discover the Anglo-Saxon: Ratings & Maritime News

On September 2, 2018, at 4:50 p.m., the bulk carrier 'Anglo Saxon' encountered a serious malfunction involving its astern propulsion and steering systems while maneuvering at Neptune Terminal No. 1 in North Vancouver, British Columbia, at coordinates 49 18.222 N, 123 03.306 W. Fortunately, the vessel's forward motion was halted thanks to the prompt assistance of a nearby tugboat. After resolving the issues, the 'Anglo Saxon' successfully resumed its journey on September 8, setting sail towards Panama.

In a notable transaction, a maritime vessel has been sold for around $11.5 million to SwissMarine. This purchase marks a significant addition to SwissMarine's fleet, enhancing their operational capabilities in the maritime industry.

Dampskibsselskabet NORDEN A/S has made significant strides in its strategic initiative, Focus & Simplicity, by selling four Post-Panamax vessels, including the Nord Pisces. This strategic shift emphasizes a leaner focus on medium-sized vessels, particularly in the Supramax and Panamax categories. The vessels sold include: – NORD DELPHINUS (114,167 deadweight tons, built in 2010) – NORD DORADO (114,167 deadweight tons, built in 2010) – NORD PISCES (114,167 deadweight tons, built in 2010) – NORD PYXIS (114,500 deadweight tons, built in 2010) The financial returns from this sale will be strategically reinvested to enhance NORDEN's portfolio in the Supramax and Panamax segments. Post-sale, NORDEN has exited ownership of Post-Panamax vessels but continues to operate four chartered vessels within this category.
