Scrub-Island Vessel Reviews and Specifications

On November 12, 2019, the bulk carrier 'Ultra Integrity', carrying a cargo of wood pellets and with a crew of 21 members, experienced a significant incident while navigating from Baton Rouge to Liverpool. The vessel lost its port anchor along with nine shackles at coordinates 53° 25' 06" N and 004° 08' 26" W at 2 p.m. Following this mishap, the 'Ultra Integrity' was left with only one anchor and no immediate plans for berthing for a minimum of three days. The appointed agent suggested the vessel drift for this period to ensure safety. At the time, the ship was dealing with challenging maritime conditions, facing a northwest gale force 9 wind, which later eased to a force 8, resulting in moderate to rough sea states. After a period of drifting, the 'Ultra Integrity' successfully reached the pilot station in Liverpool on November 16 at 07:40 a.m., before finally docking at Langton Dock, Liverpool, at 1:30 p.m.
