Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Ocean-Pera

In the early hours of January 26, 2022, the search and rescue vessel 'Guardamar Polimnia' undertook a vital mission, saving 58 migrants of sub-Saharan descent, including 13 women, who were found aboard an inflatable boat approximately 100 kilometers southeast of Gran Canaria. This particular rubber dinghy marked the tenth migrant vessel discovered that day in the Canary Islands and had been detected earlier by the Helimer 201 rescue helicopter. Prior to the SAR team's arrival, the bulk carrier 'Desert Osprey', en route from Lagos to Casablanca, provided crucial support by standing by the distressed boat. After the rescue, the 'Desert Osprey' continued its journey, with an estimated arrival time set for January 28. Overall, the remarkable efforts in the waters surrounding the Canary Islands resulted in the assistance of ten boats carrying over 467 migrants. Unfortunately, the tragedy was marked by the disappearance of 18 individuals in a shipwreck off the coast of Lanzarote.

On March 27, 2020, the bulk carrier 'Desert Osprey' found itself at the center of a maritime legal issue after it was fined for breaching Russia's state border navigation regulations. The incident occurred as the vessel approached Novorossiysk, having entered a temporary zone designated as a dangerous navigation area. Despite having received a prior warning about the restrictions on navigation, the Master of the vessel proceeded, resulting in negligence that led to the offense. The decision to impose an administrative fine was made by the FSB Directorate for the Krasnodar Territory, which emphasized that navigation restrictions are aimed at safeguarding navigation safety, protecting the interests of the Russian Federation, and preserving the marine environment. All vessels, including foreign ones, are mandated to adhere to these navigation rules. The financial penalty for this infraction ranges from 30,000 to 50,000 Rubles, reflecting the seriousness of compliance with maritime navigation laws.

On June 26, 2023, the cruise ship Logos Hope (IMO: 12519 gt, built in 1973) made contact with the bulk carrier Desert Osprey (IMO: 31848 gt, built in 2015) while navigating downstream at the 408-kilometer mark of the River Parana in Argentina. Fortunately, initial reports indicate that there were no significant damages to the hulls of either vessel. Following the incident, both ships were anchored nearby to undergo detailed inspections conducted by the Naval Prefecture, which aims to evaluate their seaworthiness. Although some minor damage has been reported, it is not deemed serious at this time. Sailors and maritime authorities continue to monitor the situation closely.
