Reviews & Ratings for the Corinna

In a shocking incident on July 23, 2024, at 01:05 a.m., the cargo vessel 'Corinna' was assaulted by a group of five armed individuals while navigating through the eastbound lane of the Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS) in the Straits of Malacca and Singapore (SOMS). The ship, which was traveling from Vistiko to Zhanjiang, was approximately 3.19 nautical miles north of Pulau Cula at coordinates 1° 5.6' N and 103° 43.1' E when the armed intruders, equipped with knives, boarded and made off with crucial engine spare parts. This incident raises significant concerns regarding maritime security in one of the world’s busiest shipping corridors.

In a recent maritime transaction, a vessel has been sold to Greek buyers for an impressive $26 million. This deal marks a significant investment in the shipping industry, highlighting ongoing interest and activity among Greek investors in maritime assets.

In a significant move affecting the maritime industry, German shipowner FH Bertling has decided to rescind its order for two of the three Kamsarmax bulk carriers (Sumatra and Sulawesi) contracted with Wuhu Xinlian Shipbuilding back in 2010. The decision follows the discovery of technical defects during trial operations of the vessels, leading to concerns for Bertling. Despite Wuhu Xinlian's assertion that the construction was completed appropriately last year, Bertling disagreed on the vessel's readiness, culminating in the contract cancellation. Notably, the two cancelled vessels were recognized as the largest ships to be constructed in Anhui province. As of now, the third vessel in the order, named Istria, remains under construction at the Wuhu Xinlian facility. This development was reported on June 5, 2013.
