Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Maymon

On April 23, 2021, Portuguese law enforcement conducted a thorough inspection of the cargo ship 'Alexander Tvavorskiy' in Viana do Castelo, following a tip-off. The vessel had docked at the port on April 20, having journeyed from Ceyhan via Gibraltar while transporting a cargo of blast furnace slag. Details regarding the specific reasons behind the search remain undisclosed. As of April 24, the Alexander Tvavorskiy was observed to be stationary at the port.

In a troubling situation at Leith, the crew of the Alexander Tvardovskiy is receiving crucial assistance from port chaplain Pauline Robertson of Sailors' Society. Captain Gennadi Kukvinof expressed the uncertainty of their plight, stating, "We have no idea when we can set sail and go home." This Cook Islands-flagged vessel has been under scrutiny, as the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) identified "several deficiencies" on board. Kukvinof further noted, "The ship is almost ready to set sail, but the owners are fighting against paying our salary, and I'm not sure how the situation will be resolved." Since June 25th, Robertson has been providing comfort and support to the ten-member crew, which includes nine men and one woman, sharing, "They're anxious and worried about how long they'll be here."

The situation aboard the detained cargo vessel 'Alexander Tvardovskiy' at Leith Port has become dire, with the crew struggling to secure sufficient provisions. Previously, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) had identified multiple deficiencies, including the absence of valid International Safety Management (ISM) and International Ship Security (ISSC) certificates. Additionally, crew members have reportedly gone without their wages. Captain Gennadi Kukvinov expressed his frustration, revealing that it has been nine days since he first requested food supplies on July 8, 2019, with limited response from authorities. Presently, the ship only holds remnants of food, lacking essential fresh produce and minimal protein sources. The vessel will remain immobilized until the MCA conducts a thorough re-inspection and confirms that all safety deficiencies have been adequately addressed.
