Jolly-Clivia Vessel Reviews and Specifications

A distressing incident occurred on October 4, 2023, when a Bangladeshi crew member on board the cargo vessel 'ALS Clivia' fell overboard at Tanjung Pelepas Port in Gelang Patah. The individual, identified as Miah Md Ujjal, reportedly plunged into the water from a height of approximately 20 feet while performing his duties aboard the vessel. Emergency services were notified at 11:12 a.m., prompting the Iskandar Puteri Fire and Rescue Station to mobilize swiftly. A total of 24 rescue personnel, alongside the Water Rescue Team (PPDA) from Skudai, were deployed to the scene. In their search efforts, two PPDA members executed a Search and Rescue (SAR) operation focused on the area near where Ujjal was last seen, covering a 25-meter radius on either side of the ship. However, due to inclement sea conditions, the operation was temporarily halted at 3:15 p.m. Thankfully, calmer waters allowed the team to resume their crucial efforts shortly after at 4:18 p.m., as they continue to search for the missing crew member.

In a significant maritime transaction, a vessel has been sold for $15.0 million to the Singapore-based shipping company Asiatic Lloyd. This deal marks a notable event in the shipping sector, reflecting the ongoing activity in the industry. As Asiatic Lloyd expands its fleet, the acquisition highlights their commitment to enhancing maritime operations.
