Orange-Dream Ship Details and Seafarer Feedback

A significant health alert was triggered on July 29, 2020, when a member of the crew aboard the vessel 'Orange Dream' tested positive for COVID-19. The Russian crew member was promptly transported to a hospital in Incheon for medical care. Fortunately, the remaining 20 crew members have all tested negative for the virus and are reported to be in good health. This incident has led to the ship being placed under a precautionary quarantine for a period of 14 days. The 'Orange Dream', which arrived in Incheon from Vladivostok on July 26 carrying a cargo of scrap metal, is now under strict scrutiny to prevent any further spread of the virus.

On July 31, 2013, the South Korean freighter Evangeli was detained in Trincomalee, Sri Lanka, as reported by the local publication Times Online. The arrest followed a legal claim initiated by a South Korean bunkering company. The vessel, which had arrived in Trincomalee on July 18 carrying a cargo of 10,000 tons of granite, was reportedly in the area to take on fuel. The bunkering company engaged a law firm in Colombo that successfully obtained an arrest warrant for the ship. Compounding the situation, it was revealed that the 18-member crew had not received their wages for the past three months, raising serious concerns about their working conditions.
