Msc-Tia-V Ship Details and Seafarer Feedback

A lucrative charter opportunity has arisen as Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) announces a long-term charter spanning 6 to 8 months. This extended duration is particularly attractive for businesses looking to enhance their trading operations in Asia. As MSC continues to strengthen its presence in this key maritime region, the charter aims to facilitate efficient logistics and supply chain management for stakeholders engaged in Asian markets.

On the evening of May 14, 2013, thrill-seekers aboard the Fort Fisher/Southport ferry experienced a jolt when a 10-foot wave, generated by the passing container ship 'Hanjin Pretoria', crashed into the vessel. The 'Hanjin Pretoria', which was en route from New York and approached the ferry around 6:30 p.m., created an unexpected swell that startled passengers. In response to the looming wave, the ferry's captain executed a maneuver to angle the vessel into the wave, adhering to standard safety protocols. While a few passengers sustained minor injuries and six vehicles encountered minor dings, the ferry successfully navigated back to Fort Fisher. Thankfully, all passengers disembarked without major incident. The ferry itself suffered slight damage to the railing but resumed its normal operations shortly thereafter.
