One-Majesty Vessel Reviews and Specifications

On March 11, 2026, an alarming incident unfolded in the Gulf of Oman when the bulk carrier 'Mayuree Naree' (IMO: 9323649) was attacked by two projectiles approximately 112 nautical miles north of Oman, just after it navigated through the Strait of Hormuz. The ship, carrying a crew of 23 Thai nationals, suffered severe damage as the explosions occurred above the waterline at the stern and in the engine room, resulting in a significant fire that sent thick smoke billowing from the accommodation block. In response to the crisis, a distress signal was promptly dispatched. A total of 20 crew members managed to evacuate onto liferafts and were safely rescued later at Khasab, Oman. Meanwhile, three crew members remained onboard as rescue efforts commenced, supported by Omani naval units. The Thai navy quickly mobilized, coordinating with the Combined Maritime Forces headquarters based in Bahrain, as well as liaising with Thai embassies in Bahrain, the UAE, and Oman. They collaborated with the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) to facilitate search-and-rescue operations to secure the safe return of all 23 crew members to Thailand. In a separate incident on the same day, the 'ONE Majesty,' en route from Jebel Ali to Mundra, also sustained damage when it was struck in the stern approximately 25 nautical miles northwest of Ras Al Khaimah, a coastal emirate in the UAE. Fortunately, the vessel, operated by Ocean Network Express (ONE) and owned by Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL), reported no injuries among its crew and remained operational after sustaining minor damage, including a hole above the waterline and another in the steering room. The ship has since altered its course southwest, anchoring in the Gulf, roughly 150 kilometers from the incident site. Moreover, during the early hours of March 11, the bulk carrier 'Star Gwyneth' (IMO: 9301031) experienced yet another attack while on its route from Paranagua to Dubai. The ship was hit roughly 50 nautical miles northwest of Dubai, resulting in hull damage without water ingress or injuries among its crew, who were reported safe. The vessel, which anchored at position 25° 54' N 055° 30' E, was able to continue its journey to a repair yard with minimal disruption. These incidents raise significant concerns about maritime safety in the region, particularly following reports from US military forces of the elimination of multiple Iranian naval vessels, including two minelayers near the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

In a significant crackdown on drug trafficking, a Mexican patrol boat conducted a surveillance operation in Ensenada waters on the evening of February 26, 2020. During this operation, officials observed an individual aboard the vessel 'MOL Majesty' disposing of suspicious packages into the ocean. A swift response led to the detainment of a small boat alongside the ship, occupied by three individuals. Upon inspection, authorities discovered that the discarded packages contained approximately three kilograms of a white powder, believed to be cocaine. All four suspects, including the person aboard the 'MOL Majesty', were apprehended in connection with the drug trafficking incident. The 'MOL Majesty', which had docked in Ensenada after departing from Manzanillo on February 25, remained anchored in the Ensenada harbor as of February 27.

The MOL Majesty, a Japanese container vessel with an IMO number of 9424912, is set to dock in Hamburg today, marking a significant milestone as the first Japanese ship to arrive at the German port following the recent tsunami disaster. The ship departed from Tokyo just two days after the tsunami struck, navigating through various ports including Singapore, Hong Kong, and Vietnam along its route. Prior to its scheduled arrival in Hamburg, the MOL Majesty made a brief stopover in Rotterdam over the weekend, where it discharged a portion of its cargo. A Rotterdam port official confirmed that the vessel was not subjected to any special radiation checks as it had left Japan before radiation concerns emerged from the Fukushima nuclear plant. In a statement to the media, a spokesman for the Interior Senate indicated that initial assessments suggest there is no risk of radiation exposure from the MOL Majesty. As such, the ship will be processed at the port like any other vessel. However, in accordance with protocol, it is set to be halted at Finkenwerder upon entering Hamburg’s waters, where it will undergo safety inspections by the water police. This cautious approach underscores the vigilance exercised in maritime operations following environmental incidents.
