The Marsa-Zenith: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

On the night of August 11, 2018, at approximately 9:30 p.m., the 'Repulse Bay' encountered engine failure while drifting near Santa Cruz in the Canary Islands. The vessel, which had just departed from Tenerife and was en route to Algeciras with an estimated arrival on August 13, found itself in distress due to a malfunction in its propulsion system. Fortunately, on August 13, a port tug successfully towed the 'Repulse Bay' back to port for essential repairs. The initial assessment determined that damage to the camshaft was responsible for the engine breakdown, necessitating a repair period of two to three weeks. After completing the necessary maintenance, the vessel resumed its journey on October 28, with a new course set for Algeciras, aiming to arrive by November 1.
