Reviews & Ratings for the Lydia-Ka

In a significant transaction, a vessel has been sold for $11.0 million to Gestion Maritime, a prominent company based in Monaco. This sale underscores the ongoing demand for maritime assets in the competitive shipping market.

The tanker 'Kraslava' has been cleared to continue its voyage following a thorough inspection conducted by Danish authorities. After ensuring her seaworthiness, the vessel successfully navigated toward Riga, arriving on November 4 at 9 a.m. Upon arrival, she docked at Kugu Buvetava with the assistance of tugs 'Orion' and 'Castor'. It is noted that the 'Kraslava' experienced damages, including a breach and several dents on her starboard bow. Meanwhile, the reefer 'Atlantic Lady' suffered damage as well, losing a section of her living quarters on the starboard side due to the collision with the 'Kraslava'. The 'Atlantic Lady' remained anchored north of Middelgrunds Fort, located near Copenhagen, as assessments regarding her seaworthiness were conducted.

On the afternoon of November 1, 2014, at precisely 1:28 PM, a maritime collision occurred in the Drogden Channel of the Øre Sound involving the cargo vessel 'Kraslava' and the refrigerated ship 'Atlantic Lady'. The incident took place just east of Amager, coordinates 55°32′N 12°43′E, resulting in significant damage to both vessels. Following the collision, authorities instructed both ships to anchor for further investigation. The Swedish Coast Guard swiftly dispatched the patrol vessel 'KBV 034', which was already positioned near Malmö, to assist at the site. Subsequently, the damaged 'Atlantic Lady' proceeded to anchor off the coast of Copenhagen, while the 'Kraslava', which was carrying ballast, navigated to Køge Bay for evaluation. Initial reports indicate that the 'Atlantic Lady' sustained severe damage to its superstructure, with several cabins completely destroyed. The 'Kraslava', on the other hand, experienced a gash on its starboard bow and possible damage to its anchor. The 'Atlantic Lady' had departed from St. Petersburg on October 30, destined for Bear Island, while the 'Kraslava' was en route from Santa Cruz to St. Petersburg.
