Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Mt-Mica

In a developing maritime security scenario, six vessels have recently changed their routes to evade possible Houthi attacks. This follows the trend observed on July 21, 2026, when several ships made similar alterations. Notable among those making course changes on July 22 are: the Marshall Islands-flagged vehicle carrier 'Liu Jiang Kou' (IMO: 9991795), which is currently navigating east within the Maritime Transit Security Corridor (MTSC) while exiting the Gulf of Aden; the Russian-flagged products tanker 'Trust' (IMO: 9382798), which is currently anchored off Jeddah and has faced sanctions from the EU, UK, and US (OFAC); the Singapore-flagged products tanker 'Navig8 Express' (IMO: 9976874), which has seemingly reversed direction and is now en route back to Yanbu; the vessel 'Mica,' initially headed from Port Suez to Sohar but now stationary near Jizan; the Maltese-flagged Suezmax 'Agios Gerasimos' (IMO: 9693056), which is now proceeding towards the head of the Sumed Pipeline at Ain Sukhna; and the Liberia-flagged Suezmax 'Amazon' (IMO: 9476654), which is on a northerly course towards the Suez Canal. These shifts underscore the heightened vigilance among shipping companies operating in the region amid ongoing security concerns.

In a notable maritime transaction, three MR2 tankers were successfully sold to buyers in China for a total of USD 47.2 million. The vessels included the 'Nave Equinox' (IMO 9339036), launched in 2007 by STX, the 'Nave Orbit' (IMO 9439395), built in 2009 by SPP, and the 'Nave Velocity' (IMO 9760624), delivered in 2015 by SPP. The deal is highlighted by an impressive time charter (T/C) return of 5.5 years, establishing a promising outlook for the new owners.

Chevron has successfully finalized a new charter agreement for a duration of 12 months, with an impressive rate of $12,700 per day. This strategic move highlights Chevron's commitment to enhancing its fleet operations and optimizing its maritime engagements.

In a significant move for maritime operations, the charter for a vessel has been successfully extended, with the daily rate set at $13,500. This extension not only ensures continuity in operations but also reflects the increasing demand for chartered vessels in the industry. Stakeholders will be keenly observing the outcomes of this agreement as it unfolds.
