Reviews & Ratings for the Eirini-S

On April 7, 2020, a harrowing medical emergency unfolded as the pilot aboard the 'Ionic Halo', navigating from Arroyyo Seco to Las Palmas, required immediate evacuation in the vicinity of Puerto de La Plata. Early in the morning, local authorities were alerted to assist the 64-year-old pilot, who exhibited alarming symptoms including elevated blood pressure, paralysis, and difficulty speaking. The Coast Guard's Department of Health quickly advised that the pilot needed urgent medical attention. Responding to the emergency, the Coast Guard vessel 'GC-73 Cabo Corrientes' was dispatched to the 'Ionic Halo', which was anchored nine kilometers offshore in La Plata. Arriving approximately one hour later, medical personnel boarded the vessel to evaluate the pilot. After confirming his critical condition, the team successfully stabilized him aboard the ship. Rescue operations included carefully placing the pilot on a stretcher and utilizing an on-board crane for a safe transfer to the Coast Guard vessel. Medical staff continued to provide assistance during the transfer. An ambulance was prepared at the harbor, ready to transport him to Horacio Cestino Hospital in Ensenada for further treatment. This swift response highlights the importance of maritime emergency protocols in safeguarding those on the high seas.

On June 29, 2016, at approximately 1 p.m., a maritime incident occurred in the port of Brake involving the bulk carrier 'Widor' and the vessel 'Ionic Halo.' While unmooring, 'Widor,' which was docked behind 'Ionic Halo' at the South Quay, faced unexpected challenges due to strong currents. As the ship turned towards the fairway, it was swept by the tide, causing it to collide with the stern of 'Ionic Halo.' The 68-year-old Lithuanian captain miscalculated the intensity of the outgoing tide, leading to the allision. During the incident, 'Widor' sustained damage to its port side, affecting the cargo hatches and a deck crane, resulting in some hydraulic fuel leaking from the vessel. Fortunately, there was no spill into the Weser River. Following the allision, 'Widor' returned to its original berth to undergo further inspections. 'Ionic Halo,' on the other hand, experienced minimal damage and successfully departed the port shortly before midnight on the same day, with its next destination set for Riga, anticipated on July 2 at 5 p.m. After repairs to the damaged hatch covers, 'Widor' was cleared to sail on June 30, departing at 6:15 p.m. toward Fredericia with a cargo of 2,600 tons of animal feed. However, the vessel encountered gear damage which necessitated anchoring offshore at Oste to perform troubleshooting. 'Widor' finally reached Fredericia on July 2 around noon.
