What Crew Members Say About Bulk-Brenton

On April 27, 2022, at approximately 12:00 PM, the vessel 'Belfriend,' navigating from Szczecin, initiated a request for a medical evacuation. This incident occurred roughly 38 nautical miles northwest of Cape Finisterre in the North Atlantic. The Spanish Coast Guard responded swiftly by deploying the SAR helicopter Helimer 402 from the CCS Finisterre of Salvamento Marítimo. Following a successful hoist operation, the injured crew member was transferred to Santiago airport for immediate medical attention at a nearby hospital.

In an exciting development, Swire has successfully secured a new charter agreement. The vessel is set to be delivered at Bejaia and will later be redelivered to the U.S. East Coast. This lucrative deal is valued at an impressive $8,250 per day, highlighting Swire’s continued growth and strategic positioning in the maritime industry. As they expand their operations, the implications of this charter are noteworthy for shipping routes between Europe and the U.S.
