Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Aroyat

On May 15, 2025, Georgetown witnessed a notable oil spill involving the vessel 'Aroyat', which was stationed at the Demerara Sugar terminal (DST) in Ruimveldt. The ship had just entered Port Georgetown to take on a shipment of rice when the spill occurred around 5 p.m. The Maritime Administration Department (MARAD) quickly responded to the emergency, mobilizing the National Emergency Response Team. This team comprised MARAD, the Civil Defence Commission (CDC), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Guyana Defence Force Coast Guard (GDF-CG), all working in unison to mitigate the leak and contain the environmental impact. As part of the response efforts, an investigation has been initiated to determine the root cause of the spill.

On September 16, 2023, two cargo vessels made waves by successfully breaching the Russian-imposed blockade on Ukrainian ports. The first, the 'Resilient Africa' (IMO: 9257204), was coming from Constanta, while the bulk carrier 'Aroyat' arrived from Istanbul. The 'Resilient Africa' arrived at the northern anchorage of Chornomorsk early on September 18 at 3 a.m., pinpointed at coordinates 46° 18.95' N 030° 40.39' E. Meanwhile, the 'Aroyat' made its way into Chornomorsk on the same day at 5:10 p.m. UTC. Both vessels are set to be loaded with grain and boast crews comprised of nationals from Turkey, Azerbaijan, Egypt, and Ukraine, all managed by Turkish companies. This crucial effort underscores the determination to sustain grain exports amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions.
