The Meratus-Projectprima: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

On June 15, a vessel was detained in Ipswich, raising concerns over safety and compliance. After an evaluation revealing twenty significant deficiencies, the ship was held under four primary grounds for detention. Fortunately, following necessary rectifications, the vessel successfully cleared inspections and was released on June 19, allowing it to resume operations.

On the early morning of May 11, 2014, a maritime incident occurred involving the cargo ship "Copenhagen" and the ferry "FB 23" operated by Dersa, just off the coast of São Paulo. The accident took place at approximately 2:25 a.m. as the "Copenhagen" departed from the Santos Dock and navigated out of the approach channel leading to the Port of Santos. Following the collision, the "Copenhagen" made its way back to warehouse 32. Subsequent to the incident, the local port authority conducted interviews on May 12 with the vessel's master, his deputy, and the chief engineer involved in the situation. Eyewitness accounts revealed that the cargo ship experienced a power failure shortly before the impact, which occurred with the "FB 23" that was moored at the quay, unoccupied by passengers. While the "Copenhagen" sustained damage to its superstructure, the "FB 23" incurred hull damage but remained operational, with repairs anticipated in the days following the collision. Fortunately, no pollution was reported as a result of this incident.
