Reviews & Ratings for the Carlow

On October 1, 2025, the cargo vessel 'Carlow' was detained in the northern Italian port of Chioggia, following the discovery of 15 deficiencies during an inspection. Among these, seven were deemed severe enough to warrant the ship's detention. Key issues included inadequate labor conditions with missing ventilation in working areas, and insufficient crew training related to fire safety evaluations. Additionally, several life-saving appliances were found to be improperly maintained, including the embarkation arrangements for survival crafts and the stowage of liferafts, compromising safety protocols. Furthermore, the vessel's ISM certificate did not meet the established requirements. After addressing these critical issues, the 'Carlow' was released on October 7, 2025, and promptly set sail towards Derince, with an estimated time of arrival on October 12, 2025.
