Federica Vessel Reviews and Specifications

On March 20, 2026, the bulk carrier 'Federica' faced detention at Newport in Gwent following a comprehensive inspection by the Paris Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The rigorous examination scrutinized multiple aspects of the vessel, including the accommodation quarters, galley, cargo hold, engine room, navigation bridge, decks, forecastle, ballast tanks, and steering room. Additionally, emergency drills for steering and fire safety were conducted during this thorough inspection. Notably, deficiencies were identified in the fire and water ingress systems. After two days, the vessel was released on March 22 and subsequently set sail for Glasgow, with an estimated time of arrival (ETA) on March 23.
