Read Authentic Ratings for the Minerva-Joanna

On March 21, 2018, the vessel "Minerva Joanna" encountered an auxiliary boiler issue while navigating near Kalamata, specifically with two leaking tubes detected at coordinates 37°00' N, 22°05' E. Thankfully, this malfunction did not compromise the safety or operational integrity of the vessel. The ship's Master promptly reported the situation to the Kalamata Port Authority. The crew undertook immediate steps to conduct permanent repairs with assistance from an authorized workshop, all under the vigilant oversight of the ship's classification society, DNV GL. As a precautionary measure, the Kalamata port authority instituted a navigation restriction until a formal statement confirming the issue's resolution could be provided by the Recognized Organization (R.O.). Importantly, throughout this incident, the "Minerva Joanna" remained free from any accidents or casualties and did not face any detentions by Port State Control while docked in Kalamata. Following the successful repairs, the vessel resumed its voyage on March 26 and anchored off Marmara on March 28.
