Reviews & Ratings for the Safeen-Prize

On September 5, 2018, the cargo ship 'Balao' faced significant engine troubles while departing from berth No. 8 at Fraser Surrey Docks in British Columbia. The vessel, which was navigating its route from Fraser River Port to Tauranga, New Zealand, was under the guidance of a pilot when it encountered a disabling main engine issue. Positioned at coordinates 049 10 26N and 122 55 27W, the 'Balao' remained docked as crews conducted essential repairs to resolve the mechanical failures.

In a recent announcement, Hapag-Lloyd revealed that the MV Balao (IMO number: 9330381), currently on its 991N voyage, has experienced significant delays in Australia stemming from industrial actions in Sydney. The shipping giant explained that further setbacks were also caused by engine issues as the vessel made its way toward New Zealand. Consequently, the updated estimated time of arrival (ETA) for the MV Balao in Vancouver has been pushed back to November 29. To expedite the vessel's return to its schedule, Hapag-Lloyd has made the decision to omit Adelaide from its upcoming 995S/N voyage. As a result, all Southbound bookings originally intended for Adelaide will now be discharged in Melbourne, allowing for onward connections to Adelaide.
