What Crew Members Say About Sea-Amelia

In a recent Port State Control inspection under the Tokyo Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the vessel 'Sea Amelia' faced detention at Huanghua port on April 11, 2026. During the inspection, authorities identified 11 deficiencies, with six categorized as serious, prompting the decision to detain the ship. However, after addressing the concerns, 'Sea Amelia' resumed its journey and departed Huanghua on April 12, setting course for Nantong, where it is expected to arrive by April 15.

The bulk carrier 'Niton Cobalt' has successfully departed from Chittagong Port Authority in Bangladesh after undergoing essential temporary repairs. The vessel set sail on March 5, 2020, at 10 a.m., bound for Haldia with an estimated time of arrival on March 6. Once the repair work was finalized, 'Niton Cobalt' was temporarily moved to the outer anchorage while awaiting the completion of a final survey and the issuance of necessary port clearances, allowing it to continue its journey.

As of February 9, the bulk carrier 'Niton Cobalt' has successfully unloaded all of its damaged cargo at the Chittagong outer anchorage. Following this crucial step, the vessel was brought to CUFL Jetty on February 12 for necessary repairs, where it is currently berthed at CUFLJ. The ship is expected to resume its journey and set sail again on February 23, following the completion of repair works.

The 'Niton Cobalt' is back in action following repairs for allision damage incurred on January 19, 2020. The vessel is currently engaged in discharging 4,500 tonnes of damaged cargo into a lighter vessel at the Chittagong outer anchorage. This operation is anticipated to wrap up within the week, after which the ship is set to depart for Singapore. The incident occurred on December 17, 2019, when the 'Niton Cobalt' collided with the bulbous bow and stem of the bulk carrier 'Indigo Silva' as it was preparing to leave for Mongla. The impact caused significant damage to the sheer strake of cargo hold No. 5 and resulted in a rupture that led to flooding in the compartment housing bulk gypsum. Meanwhile, the 'Indigo Silva', which had arrived at the Chittagong outer anchorage on December 10, completed its journey to Singapore on December 26.
