Ocean-Legend Vessel Reviews and Specifications

The bulk carrier 'Ocean Legend' faced a significant setback when it was detained in the bustling port of Pozzallo on December 30, 2024. This detention was attributed to a total of 12 deficiencies, with six of them being serious enough to warrant this action. The major concerns included: inadequate fire doors and openings in fire-resisting divisions, compromised structural integrity regarding fire prevention, improper maintenance of asbestos-containing materials, lack of proper training during fire drills, unsatisfactory condition of the main propulsion engine, and non-compliance with ISM certificate requirements. Following its detention, the 'Ocean Legend' was finally released on January 8, 2025, and granted permission for a single voyage to Zeytinburnu, where it is set for essential repairs, expected to complete its journey by January 11, 2025. Notably, this was not the vessel's first encounter with detention issues; it was previously detained on May 23, 2024, at the Ortona port for five deficiencies, where it remained for a period of five days. This latest incident highlights ongoing challenges in maintaining maritime safety and operational standards.
