Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Chailease-Cherish

In a significant enforcement action, the Brunsbüttel water police conducted a MARPOL compliance inspection aboard the cargo vessel 'SITC Zhoushan' on January 13, 2020, at the Elbe Port. The inspection uncovered troubling evidence of unauthorized waste disposal practices. Entries in the vessel's garbage log indicated that dry cargo residues were improperly discharged into the sea, particularly within the special area designated as the 'North Sea' and within the exclusive economic zones of both Germany and Denmark. As a result of these violations, the local court in Husum has mandated a security deposit of €8,500. The findings prompted the Hamburg public prosecutor's office to initiate investigations against both the captain and the chief officer of the vessel. Further inquiries revealed that the ship's wastewater treatment facility was malfunctioning, attributed to inadequate maintenance. The 'SITC Zhoushan' had docked in Brunsbüttel on January 12 at 2:30 PM, arriving from Vysotsk. Additionally, preparations were underway for a flag state report to be submitted to the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency regarding the disposal of dry cargo residues encountered in the Gulf of Mexico. This case underlines the maritime industry's ongoing commitment to environmental regulations and the importance of compliance with waste management protocols.

In the maritime sector, Oldendorff has successfully finalized a new charter agreement that will see the vessel delivered in Rotterdam between November 9 and November 15, 2019.

The ship is set to embark on a voyage through the Baltic region, with its redelivery anticipated within the Skaw to Gibraltar range, marking another strategic step in Oldendorff's operational activities.
