Bonneville Vessel Reviews and Specifications

In a shocking incident on June 12, 2025, at 04:00 a.m., the vessel 'Bonneville' was approached by six armed intruders while navigating the eastbound lane of the Traffic Separation Scheme in the Singapore Strait. The attack occurred at position 1° 6.3' N 103° 44.8' E, approximately 4.2 nautical miles from Pulau Cula. Although the assailants were equipped with knives and objects resembling firearms, thankfully, no injuries were reported during this maritime breach. The culprits managed to escape with valuable engine spares, highlighting ongoing security concerns in busy shipping lanes.

On February 21, 2020, the vessel Bonneville encountered significant main engine troubles while docked at Port Elizabeth. Following the incident, the crew attempted to navigate towards Durban at a reduced speed to carry out necessary repairs; however, they were compelled to abandon this course. Instead, the Bonneville dropped anchor in the port's anchorage area at coordinates 33° 52.04' N 025° 46.77' E, where it awaited authorization to move to Coega port for urgent repair work. After successfully completing the necessary repairs, the Bonneville set sail from Coega on March 12, heading towards Djibouti, with an estimated arrival date of March 25.

In a strategic move within the maritime industry, German shipping company DT Bereederung has sold its vessel 'Selandia' along with another asset as part of a lucrative en bloc deal valued at $26.7 million. The transaction has been completed with Greek buyers Technomar, marking a significant shift in ownership. This acquisition is expected to enhance Technomar's fleet capabilities and further their growth in the shipping market.
