What Crew Members Say About Otis

In a significant development, Repsol has successfully finalized a new charter agreement, setting the rate at $23,000 per day for a duration of one year. This strategic move underscores Repsol's continued commitment to expanding its operations and optimizing its fleet utilization in the maritime sector.

According to the Regional Cooperation Agreement on Combating Piracy and Armed Robbery against Ships in Asia (ReCAAP), a notable theft occurred on October 22, 2023, involving the crude oil tanker Everbright, registered in Hong Kong. The vessel was anchored around 11 nautical miles west of Kochi Lighthouse in India (coordinates: 09° 58.21' N, 076° 02.41' E) at approximately 0420 hours local time when it was approached by ten robbers using two small boats. The assailants boarded the tanker and managed to make off with several coils of rope. Fortunately, the ship's master promptly raised the alarm and notified the Kochi Port Trust, prompting the robbers to flee back into the water and escape in their vessels. Thankfully, the crew was unharmed during this unsettling incident. For further details, visit Maritime Bulletin at http://www.odin.tc.
