The Orient-Progress: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

The bulk carrier 'Genco Spirit' faced an arrest at the bustling Chittagong port on February 19, 2020, amidst rising tensions over a cargo ownership conflict. The vessel, which was on a time charter, had arrived at the port on February 9, carrying a shipment of stone. The arrest stemmed from disagreements between the time charterer and an alleged cargo owner regarding the rightful ownership of the cargo. Following instructions from the charterer, the ship was ordered not to discharge its cargo, escalating the legal complications. During this tumultuous period, both the crew and the vessel remained safe and securely anchored while negotiations unfolded between the parties involved. Genco has been monitoring the situation closely, expressing optimism for a swift resolution. Thankfully, the 'Genco Spirit' was released from arrest on February 27.
