Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Rubyn

In a troubling development for the maritime industry, the vessel 'Ruby' has been detained yet again, this time in Izmir, just one month after its previous confinement. Authorities reported that the ship was found to have 23 deficiencies, with seven of those categorized as serious enough to warrant detention. Key issues included malfunctioning radio communication systems, inoperative rescue boats, and inadequacies in propulsion and auxiliary machinery operations. Specifically, the ship displayed a lack of familiarity with its machinery operations and insufficient training for fire drills, compromising safety standards. The Maritime Safety Administration flagged these concerns on April 21 when the 'Ruby' was finally released and set sail for Burgas. Notably, this detention follows a previous incident on February 19 in Hamburg, where the vessel faced 27 deficiencies, resulting in a twelve-day hold. Shipowners and operators are reminded of the critical importance of maintaining compliance with safety regulations to prevent such recurrent detentions.

The bulk carrier 'Rubyn' faced a temporary detention in Hamburg upon its arrival on February 19, 2026. This measure came after a thorough inspection revealed six critical deficiencies that raised significant safety concerns. The issues identified included: 1) Fire safety - Inoperative fire detection and alarm system; 2) Fire safety - Insufficient equipment for emergency escape breathing devices; 3) Fire safety - Inadequate crew training related to performance evaluation; 4) Navigation safety - Non-compliance with required electronic charts (ECDIS); 5) Structural condition - Damaged steering gear; 6) Emergency systems - Inoperative emergency lighting, batteries, and switches. After rectifying these deficiencies, the 'Rubyn' was permitted to leave the port on March 2, 2026. It is currently en route to Dordrecht, with an estimated time of arrival set for March 4, 2026.
