Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Lady-Zehma

The cargo vessel 'Lady Zehma' suffered considerable damage following two separate attacks while navigating the Black Sea. On July 21, 2026, the ship, which departed from Odessa around 08:30 GMT (11:30 local time), was struck first by a drone and subsequently faced a rocket attack around 11:30 GMT (14:30 local time). These impacts resulted in structural damage to one of its cargo holds and its hatch cover, along with adjacent deck areas, due to shrapnel from the explosions. In response to these assaults, the crew took quick and professional action, activating the emergency protocols laid out in the Company's Safety Management System. The ship's Master and crew worked efficiently alongside the Company's Shore Emergency Response Team to coordinate efforts with maritime authorities and other relevant stakeholders. Despite suffering damage, the 'Lady Zehma' remained operational under her own power and continued her journey, maintaining a constant line of communication with the emergency team. Thankfully, all 22 crew members on board were accounted for without any injuries or casualties reported. Health assessments were also prioritized, with ship owners and insurers agreeing to have an independent medical professional board to conduct precautionary evaluations of the crew. Here's a breakdown of the crew's nationalities: - Azerbaijani: 19 - Turkish: 1 - Ukrainian: 1 - Egyptian: 1 Total Crew: 22 The vessel’s main propulsion, steering, and navigation systems were confirmed functional, and no pollution was detected following the incidents. Preliminary assessments indicated potential cargo damage within the affected hold, but due to the state of the damaged hatch cover, a comprehensive evaluation was not feasible at this time. GN Group Corporation is actively keeping relevant maritime authorities informed and is collaborating closely with all parties involved.

On February 1, 2014, the tugboat 'Fairmount Glacier' successfully transported the stricken bulk carrier 'Cassiopeia Star' to the Sicherheit dock at Reina Sofia Suroeste in Las Palmas.
