Hoanh-Son-Atlantic Ship Details and Seafarer Feedback

On July 12, 2017, the bulk carrier 'Navios Orbiter' encountered a severe mechanical failure while navigating the North Atlantic on its voyage from Lisbon to Amsterdam. In response to the distress call, Tsavliris Salvage was quickly mobilized to provide assistance. After a challenging towing operation, the vessel made a safe return to Lisbon, arriving on July 17. This incident highlights the importance of timely salvage operations in maritime safety.

A new charter has been successfully finalized for a vessel that will operate in the Gibraltar area. The journey will take the ship along the North Coast of South America, ultimately returning within the Skaw-Cape Passero range, where it will be loaded with grains. This lucrative agreement, brokered with Bunge, assures a daily rate of $9,000 for the duration of the charter.

On April 16, 2017, at precisely 3:30 p.m., a fire broke out aboard the "Navios Orbiter" while docked at Immingham Docks, prompting the UK Coastguard to deploy both the Cleethorpes and Humber Lifeboats. With 19 crew members on board, the volunteer crew of Cleethorpes traversed through heavy Easter Sunday traffic to reach their station, while the Humber Lifeboat team, comprised of both full-time and volunteer members, set out from Spurn Point. Arriving at the scene shortly after 4 p.m., both lifeboats took up a positioned standby role to provide necessary safety support as firefighting efforts commenced. Meanwhile, the Coastguard Rescue Team from Cleethorpes coordinated with onshore emergency services until the fire was deemed extinguished and all personnel onboard were confirmed safe. Once the situation stabilized, both lifeboats returned to their stations, allowing their crews to resume their Easter festivities.
