Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Delonix

On June 28, 2024, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported an aggressive attack on the vessel 'Delonix' while navigating the Red Sea. This incident is part of a broader campaign, as Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for assaults on four vessels across both the Red Sea and Mediterranean Sea. The 'Delonix' was targeted approximately 150 nautical miles northwest of Al Hudaydah, Yemen. Although the crew reported that five missiles were launched at the ship, none made contact, with all projectiles landing in the waters nearby. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and the vessel continued its journey toward the next port of call. Authorities are currently investigating the incident involving the 'Delonix.' Furthermore, the Houthis alleged they targeted two additional vessels in the Red Sea, including the 'Delonix' itself, mistakenly referred to as American, despite being managed by the Greek company Merman Maritime Co. Another target was the 'Ioannis' (IMO: 9760158), which the Houthis claimed to attack using uncrewed surface vessels. In the Mediterranean, they also took responsibility for attacks on the 'Waler' (IMO: 9393668) and 'Johannes Maersk' (IMO: 9215189). The claim against the Denmark-flagged container ship 'Johannes Maersk' is particularly significant, as the Houthis allege that its association with Maersk aligns it with supporting what they call a Zionist entity, referencing supposed violations of their prohibition against vessels visiting Israeli ports.

In a recent surveillance operation conducted by the Kocaeli Metropolitan Municipality using a seaplane, it was discovered that the oil tanker 'Delonix', which is currently transporting palm oil, had caused significant pollution in the Gulf of Izmit. The situation arose during the unloading process when palm oil began to leak through the ventilation hole of the cargo tanks. Initially, the oil spilled onto the deck before cascading into the surrounding waters. In response to this environmental hazard, local authorities have initiated extensive cleanup efforts and reported the incident to the Turkish Environment Agency (TÜÇA). TÜÇA is expected to assess the situation and determine the appropriate penalties for the tanker once their evaluation is complete.

On January 16, 2023, the Maritime Rescue Coordination Center (MRCC) of Salvamento Marítimo in A Coruña successfully organized a medical evacuation for a crew member aboard the tanker 'Rosy.' The vessel made its arrival at the A Coruña port at 9:46 a.m. to facilitate the urgent transfer of the patient. Following the medevac, the individual was swiftly transported by ambulance to Modelo Hospital for necessary medical treatment. The 'Rosy' departed the harbor again at noon, setting sail toward Bilbao, with an expected time of arrival on January 17.
