Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Athena-Cement

In a significant law enforcement operation, the cement carrier 'Suhar' was subjected to an extensive police raid shortly after docking at Freeport on October 19, 2023. The ship arrived at Freeport Drive off the South Basin in Dockyard to deliver a substantial load of 3,000 tons destined for the Maxcem Bermuda plant. At approximately 11 a.m., a large team of police officers, supported by the Bermuda Coastguard, the Royal Bermuda Regiment, and the Customs Department, boarded the vessel along with detection dogs for a thorough inspection. Coastguard divers also conducted an assessment of the hull to ensure compliance and safety. Two Coastguard vessels positioned themselves alongside the 'Suhar' soon after its arrival. Following an exhaustive search, authorities found no items warranting seizure, and the ship was cleared to depart port again on October 23. The operation did not disrupt business operations at Maxcem; the minor delay in cement collection during the search was quickly resolved, with unloading of the Bermuda shipment successfully completed by the morning of October 22.
