The One-Aquila: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

In an unexpected turn of events, the container ship 'ONE Aquila' made an early departure from Tacoma after being diverted from its original destination of Long Beach for necessary repairs. The vessel arrived at the Tacoma port on November 6, 2023. The unloading of containers proceeded at a faster pace than anticipated, prompting the 'ONE Aquila' to leave Tacoma on November 12. With this expedited timeline, the ship is now projected to reach Long Beach on November 15, significantly ahead of the initially planned arrival date of November 26. However, despite the early arrival, docking at Long Beach is not expected until November 20. After servicing Long Beach, the 'ONE Aquila' is scheduled to continue its journey, with an expected call in Oakland on November 27.

The 'One Aquila' has successfully docked at the Husky Container Terminal in Tacoma on November 6, following a challenging departure last week. The vessel is expected to remain out of service for several weeks as it undergoes an extensive survey and the unloading of containers that were lost during severe weather conditions on October 30. Originally headed for Long Beach, the ship was redirected to Tacoma to facilitate these necessary operations. After the discharge and repairs are completed, 'One Aquila' is set to resume its service rotation, with a planned call at Long Beach scheduled for November 26 and Oakland expected to follow on December 4. However, these dates may fluctuate based on the progress of the ongoing survey and discharge activities in Tacoma.

On the morning of October 30, 2020, the container ship 'One Aquila' endured a significant maritime incident, losing over 100 containers while navigating through turbulent weather in the North Pacific Ocean. The ship was traveling between Japan and the United States in the vicinity of coordinates 40°00'N 178°10'E, en route from Yantian to Long Beach as part of the Pacific South Loop 7 (PS7) trade route. In an effort to mitigate the impact of the severe conditions, the crew maneuvered the vessel to starboard and increased its speed, positioning the wind to the starboard quarter. Following the unfortunate incident, the 'One Aquila' is now heading to Tacoma, with an estimated arrival date of November 6.
