As-Samanta Vessel Reviews and Specifications

In an unexpected incident, the 'Maersk Weymouth' was compelled to divert to Falmouth after one of her two deck cranes unexpectedly crashed onto the deck while en route from Rotterdam. The vessel, which departed on March 13, 2015, was headed to Puerto Limon, a Caribbean port located approximately 150 miles southwest of Cornwall. Concerned for safety, the ship's captain made the prudent decision to return to Falmouth Bay. Efforts to remove the fallen crane commenced with the assistance of a crane barge in Currack Roads, and operations began on May 20 using the 'Mortlift II'.
