New-Victory Vessel Reviews and Specifications

In a startling incident, the bulk carrier 'New Victory' came under attack from five Ukrainian drones while navigating towards the Russian port of Taman. The assault occurred just 15 minutes before the vessel was set to enter the port, causing extensive damage and leaving the captain injured. Onboard the ship were a diverse crew consisting of five Egyptian sailors, two Syrians, three Lebanese, and two Indian nationals. Despite the catastrophic damage inflicted, particularly to the wheelhouse which was completely destroyed, the crew managed to continue their voyage without functioning navigation systems, relying instead on a compass until they could reach a safe area. The vessel is operated by a company owned by a Lebanese national. Following the attack, the ship's captain was hospitalized in Russia for medical treatment, while fortunately, the rest of the crew emerged unharmed. Currently, the 'New Victory' is awaiting assistance from Turkish tugs to help it navigate the Istanbul Strait en route to a maintenance dock for necessary repairs.

On November 11, 2018, a vessel was detained at Hull after authorities identified eleven deficiencies, which led to five grounds for detention. Following necessary assessments and rectifications, the ship was released and allowed to continue operations on November 15, 2018.

The bulk carrier Argyroula has been freed from detention at the Port of Hull in the UK following a Port State Control (PSC) inspection that revealed significant cleanliness issues. The vessel, which sails under the Marshall Islands flag, was found to have three deficiencies primarily linked to unsatisfactory hygiene conditions. Reports cited concerns about the galley, with the ship exhibiting poor cleanliness standards and indications of vermin infestation. Detained on April 5, 2017, the Argyroula was subsequently released on April 13, 2017, after addressing the identified issues.
