Oceanex-Connaigra Ship Details and Seafarer Feedback

On September 14, 2015, a sudden fire incident occurred at the Oceanex terminal located in St. John's Dock, adjacent to the vessel 'Oceanex Connaigra'. In the late afternoon, emergency services rushed to the harbor after reports of visible smoke and flames emanating from an equipment area. The flames were traced back to a crane situated near the ship. Fortunately, the fire was swiftly contained, and there were no reported injuries during this incident.

The Oceanex Connaigra is set to be taken out of service for the second time since its arrival in St. John's back in October 2013. To ensure continuity in maritime operations between St. John's and Montreal, the Oceanex Avalon will be reinstated to its original sailing schedule in Montreal. This decision comes as the Oceanex Connaigra heads to dry dock due to a recurring systems malfunction, reminiscent of issues experienced last fall. During that previous incident, the vessel was temporarily docked in Boston for repairs on its main propeller hub system. After completing its final journey from Montreal to St. John's on April 18, the Oceanex Connaigra will return to dry dock as a precautionary measure. In a bid to maintain its regular schedule, the company also plans to bring back the Oceanex Cabot to its previous Tuesday service in Montreal starting April 22, followed by the Oceanex Avalon returning to its Montreal route on April 25.

On January 28 at 5:15 PM, the state-of-the-art vessel 'Oceanex Connaigra' departed from Boston following essential maintenance to her unreliable controllable pitch propeller hub. The ship is now navigating through the Gulf of Maine, cruising at an impressive speed of over 20 knots on her way to Montreal. The planned departure from Montreal is set for January 31, where the Oceanex Connaigra will continue its journey to St. John's.
