Discover the Fehn-Courage: Ratings & Maritime News

On October 27, 2025, maritime authorities detained the cargo vessel 'Fehn Courage' in Istanbul due to a staggering 14 identified deficiencies. Among these shortcomings, three were deemed critical enough to justify the vessel's detention: 1) The absence of a magnetic compass, which is vital for safe navigation; 2) Inoperative fire dampers, compromising fire safety; and 3) Inadequate testing of the 15 PPM (Parts Per Million) alarm arrangements to prevent pollution during operations. After rectifying these issues, 'Fehn Courage' was freed on November 3 and set sail from Istanbul towards Kemi, with an estimated time of arrival (ETA) scheduled for November 24.

On October 22, 2022, a medical crisis unfolded aboard the 'Fehn Courage' as a crew member fell unconscious due to apoplexy. The vessel, which was operating in the vicinity of Huelva, urgently sought assistance, prompting the Huelva center of Salvamento Marítimo to spring into action. They dispatched the SAR helicopter Helimer 222 to the scene to conduct the evacuation. The helicopter crew successfully hoisted the stricken crew member and transported him directly to Juan Ramón Jiménez hospital for immediate medical attention. Following the incident, the 'Fehn Courage' docked in Huelva later that afternoon.
