Read Authentic Ratings for the Manisa-Sole

On May 13, 2026, the cargo ship 'Manisa Sole' faced a significant setback during an inspection in Ghent, where it was detained due to 26 deficiencies. Among these, six were deemed critical enough to warrant the detention of the vessel. The major issues identified included inadequate UMS alarms, inoperative electrical installations, and malfunctioning emergency systems, particularly the emergency power source and crew familiarization protocols. Furthermore, the bilge pumping arrangements were found to be inoperable, and fire safety measures regarding remote control of machinery spaces were also inadequate. After addressing these concerns, the 'Manisa Sole' was released on June 1 and subsequently set sail for Tanger-Med, successfully arriving on June 10, 2026.

On August 18, 2010, a maritime incident occurred involving the vessel MANISA SOLE (IMO: 9306304) off the coast of Dungeness, UK. The MANISA SOLE made contact with two freighters—Carla, a German general cargo ship, and Jonsen, a UK general cargo vessel. While the details surrounding which ship was overtaking which remain ambiguous, the encounter led to a minor collision. Fortunately, both vessels sustained only slight damage and were able to continue their respective voyages without significant delay.
