The Delta-Spirit: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

In a significant move within the maritime industry, Delta Tankers has successfully acquired the vessel 'United Emblem' (IMO: 151/2010), built at New Times Shipbuilding. This transaction, valued at $28 million, took place earlier this month, marking another milestone for Delta Tankers as they continue to expand their fleet.

In a recent development in maritime security, NATO confirmed that the vessel DELTA SPIRIT, identified by its IMO number 9419096, has successfully regained control from pirates in the Red Sea. The vessel's master has resumed navigation, bringing relief to the maritime community. This incident highlights the increasing threats in these waters. According to Somali Report, the m/t United Emblem has also been freed through the collaborative efforts of mariners aboard the Russian frigate Severomorsk. For context, on September 9, 2011, the Russian Northern Fleet ASW frigate RFS SEVEROMORSK was engaged in a similar mission, providing escort to the bulk carrier M/V Medi Chennai, which was transporting 45,936 metric tons of wheat for the World Food Programme (WFP) to Djibouti. The IMO number for the bulk carrier Medi Chennai is 9300221, with a deadweight tonnage of 55,862, and it was built in 2005 under the flag of Panama.
