Rix-Venture Ship Details and Seafarer Feedback

On November 1, 2019, the 'Celtic Venture,' sailing from Hull to Poole, encountered a technical issue with its main engine safety system at the coordinates 52° 43' 42" N, 01° 49' 15.6" E. The incident occurred at approximately 10:10 a.m., prompting the vessel to anchor while repairs were conducted. The ship's master maintained communication with the company’s office throughout the process. Following thorough inspections and necessary repairs, the 'Celtic Venture' successfully resumed its journey and is now expected to reach Poole by 7 p.m. on November 2.

Cork Dockyard has stepped up as the sole large dry-dock facility in the Republic of Ireland following the closure of Dublin's dry dock earlier this year. In a notable development, the dry-dock received the Arklow Rose, a 2,999 gross tonnage general cargo ship, at precisely 11:00 AM this morning, marking a pivotal moment for the dockyard as it begins servicing clients previously reliant on Dublin's facilities. Arklow Shipping, a significant patron of the now-defunct Dublin Graving Docks, generated approximately €2.5 million in annual revenue and managed around 20 vessels there. The Arklow Rose, which is one of the elder ships in the Arklow fleet, was built in 2002. In contrast, the company has also recently launched the latest addition to its fleet, the Arklow Valley, in the Netherlands just last month. As Cork Dockyard embraces its new role, it looks to attract former Dublin clients and expand its maritime services.

In a recent transaction, a vessel has been successfully sold to undisclosed buyers for the impressive sum of $2.7 million. The details surrounding the buyers remain confidential, adding an air of intrigue to this maritime deal.
