What Crew Members Say About Cr-Tethys

On May 23, 2025, the vessel "CR Tethys" was detained in Tauzhou, Jiangsu, due to the identification of eight serious deficiencies. Among these, three were particularly alarming and warranted immediate action: the temperature control system for dangerous goods was found to be non-compliant, the ballast water management system did not meet the specified requirements, and the radio communications' reserve energy source was inadequate. Following the inspection, the ship was released the very next day, on May 24. This incident marks a continuation of issues for the vessel, which had faced a previous detention on January 2, 2025, in Kandla, where it was cited for 19 deficiencies and held for five days.

On December 26, 2024, the tanker 'CR Tethys' faced detention in Kandla due to a series of 13 identified deficiencies.
