Reviews & Ratings for the Lady-Monica

On July 6, 2020, at approximately 6 p.m., the bulk carrier 'Dino' encountered trouble and ran aground at kilometer mark 410 on the Paraná River, just downstream from Rosario. The vessel had set sail from San Lorenzo loaded with a significant cargo of soybeans and maize, destined for Tema. As a result of the grounding incident, all ship traffic in the vicinity was temporarily halted. The situation was addressed promptly, with the tug 'Brutus' arriving on July 7 to aid in the refloating efforts. By July 8, the 'Dino' was successfully anchored at position 33° 0.82' N, 060° 35.62' W.

On April 7, 2018, the vessel 'Dino', traveling from Lagos to Bonny Anchorage, encountered a harrowing pirate attack approximately 45 miles south of Bonny. At around 4:30 a.m., four assailants boarded the ship's position at 03°37'N and 007°07'E. In response to the threat, the crew successfully sought safety in the citadel. The Nigerian Navy was promptly alerted and dispatched a patrol boat to the scene. Although the pirates managed to escape with cash and some personal property from the ship, reports indicated that fire damage affected several areas, including equipment and accommodations. The beleaguered 'Dino' was escorted by the Navy to Port Harcourt, where it safely docked on April 8 at 4:10 p.m.
