Reviews & Ratings for the Dandun

On January 13, 2025, the cargo ship 'Dandun' faced detention in Iskenderun after inspectors identified six significant deficiencies, with one being deemed critically serious. The major issue highlighted was the structural integrity of the vessel—specifically, deficiencies related to the construction of beams, frames, and floors, which did not meet regulatory standards. Following necessary inspections, the 'Dandun' was released from detention on January 14 and set sail the next day, heading towards Mangalia, with an estimated time of arrival expected by January 20. Notably, this ship had a prior detention on January 8, 2024, in Canakkale, where it was held for five days due to 14 identified deficiencies. This recent series of incidents raises concerns about the vessel's maintenance and adherence to safety regulations.

The maritime community is on alert following the arrival of the cargo vessel 'Kaie' in Rostock on May 16, 2020. Shortly after docking, all eight crew members onboard tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. As a precautionary measure, the ship has been placed under a two-week quarantine to prevent any potential spread of the virus. This incident highlights the ongoing challenges faced by the shipping industry amid the pandemic.

On the morning of February 13, 2018, the vessel 'Kaie' was successfully towed into Thyborøn's port by the support of the tugboats 'Esvagt Gamma' and 'Thor', originating from Hanstholm. This operation was further aided by the lifeboat 'Martha Lerche'. The 'Kaie', which had been en route from Zwijndrecht, encountered engine issues several days prior and had been anchored approximately 12 miles off the coast of Thyborøn. The maritime team managed to berth the ship safely at the South Port by 7 a.m., ensuring a prompt resolution to the situation.
