Working Conditions Aboard the Pilatus-Marine

On the afternoon of November 15, 2022, a maritime emergency unfolded when a crew member aboard the 'Protector St. George' required urgent medical assistance while navigating from Ust-Luga to Port Said. The incident prompted a swift response from the CROSS Corsen, which was alerted shortly after 3:30 p.m. A Dragon 29 helicopter, equipped with a trained doctor from the army health service, was dispatched to execute the airlift. Following the successful rescue operation, the sailor was promptly transported to a hospital in Brest for further medical care.

A recent time charter agreement has been established, set for delivery in the China-Japan-Korea region around March 25. The vessel is intended for re-delivery to Southeast Asia. This charter comes with a daily rate of $11,000, aimed at facilitating steel transportation in the region. The economic activities surrounding this trade route continue to flourish as demand for steel remains strong.
