What Crew Members Say About Diamanti

In a significant incident on February 13, 2022, at 02:30 AM UTC, the bulk carrier 'Thestelia K' experienced critical engine and rudder failures while attempting to berth at the south berth of Terminal 6 in San Lorenzo. The vessel initially faced challenges with its winch, preventing it from dropping anchors. As a result, 'Thestelia K' collided with the north mooring tower of the Quebracho terminal. Fortunately, when the anchors were finally deployed, it narrowly avoided a collision with the 'Unison Medal', a Hong Kong-flagged bulk carrier that was docked at Quebracho terminal. Following the incident, tugboats assisted the 'Thestelia K' in proceeding to the San Lorenzo center roads for thorough inspections of its hull and engine.

Beibu Gulf has successfully completed the sale of their Kamsarmax vessel, the 'BBG Ambition', a notable ship built by Tsuneishi in 2009, with an IMO number linked to its operational history. This transaction, valued at $17 million, sees the vessel transition to new ownership, as it has been acquired by buyers based in Greece. The vessel's last dry docking took place in November 2019, ensuring it is in compliance with safety and operational standards. This sale marks a significant shift in Beibu Gulf's fleet composition.
