The Lyric-Magnolia: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

On April 4, 2023, a maritime incident unfolded in the Suez Canal, involving the tanker m/v 'Aligote' (IMO: 9440497) and the bulk carrier 'Lyric Magnolia'. The collision occurred around 5:15 a.m. as both vessels were part of a southbound convoy, with the 'Lyric Magnolia' stationed at its mooring on the Great Bitter Lake. The 'Aligote', having sailed from La Skhirra, was maneuvering from the waiting area when strong winds played a role in the accident. Fortunately, both ships sustained only minor damages. As of April 5, they remain anchored in the canal, and the traffic experienced a brief suspension following the collision. Authorities are monitoring the situation as operations resume.

A recent charter has been successfully negotiated at a rate of $17,750 per day for a duration of six months. This agreement is with the esteemed energy company, STATOIL, further enhancing operational capabilities for the next half year.
