The King-Joy: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

On September 17, 2025, the 'King Joy' was officially detained in Rijeka under the Mediterranean Memorandum of Understanding (Med MoU) regulations. A comprehensive inspection revealed a total of 17 deficiencies, with 10 categorized as serious enough to warrant immediate detention. Critical issues identified during the inspection included malfunctioning communication equipment, a compromised emergency fire pump, and an unreliable emergency generator. The examination spanned across various critical operational areas, including the accommodation quarters, engine room, and navigation bridge. As of September 22, the vessel was still docked and stationary, awaiting further action.

On March 27, 0218, a dramatic rescue unfolded approximately 20 miles south of Key West when the US Coast Guard intervened to medevac a 37-year-old man suffering from a serious arm injury aboard the vessel 'Sanna'. The incident was prompted by a satellite phone call received around noon at the Coast Guard Sector Key West Command Center, where the ship's crew reported that the injured individual required advanced medical assistance. Responding swiftly, a Coast Guard Air Station Miami MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew reached the scene by 4:57 p.m. They successfully hoisted the injured crew member and transported him to Key West International Airport, where emergency medical services were ready to provide further care. This swift action underscores the Coast Guard's commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of those at sea.
