Frontera Vessel Reviews and Specifications

The former 'CT Cork', now renamed 'Derg', has successfully completed its repairs and resumed its maritime journey. Originally disabled southwest of the Azores on November 28, 2017, the vessel was towed by the tug 'Alp Winger' on December 2 and arrived in Yalova for extensive repairs on December 23. After months in the shipyard, the 'Derg' departed on April 9, 2018. The tanker made its way to Istanbul, arriving at 11 p.m. and setting sail the following day at 12:30 p.m. The revitalized vessel is heading towards Gibraltar, where it is scheduled to dock on April 16 before continuing its itinerary to Yabucoa, with an estimated arrival set for April 28.

The container ship 'CT Cork', which encountered engine trouble off the southwest coast of the Azores on November 28, 2017, continues to undergo repairs. After being towed to safety by the tug 'Alp Winger' on December 2, the vessel was later docked at Besiktas Shipyard in Altinova, where it has been since its arrival on December 23. As of March 6, work is actively progressing on the engine, aided by the delivery of a new set of spare parts provided by the owners. The permanent repair efforts aim to restore the ship to full operational capability.

On November 28, 2017, the tanker CT Cork found itself disabled and adrift in the Atlantic Ocean, southwest of the Azores, while on a voyage from Puerto Rico to Yalova. To provide timely assistance, the tug Alp Winger (IMO: 9367504) was enlisted for the challenging operation. The Alp Winger departed from Ponta Delgada on November 29 and, after four days of navigation, reached the stranded vessel on December 2 at 7:30 PM. Initial efforts saw the tug taking the CT Cork in tow towards Funchal, however, plans have since evolved, and the vessel is now set to be towed directly to Yalova.
