Reviews & Ratings for the Sea-Honor

In a notable maritime incident, the cargo vessel m/v 'Black Rhino' (IMO: 148790) collided with the 'Sea Honor' in the narrow navigational channel of Douala-Bonabéri Port on July 12, 2026, around 3:00 AM local time, near buoy No. 20. The collision occurred when the bulk carrier struck the cargo ship on its starboard side, leading to severe flooding aboard the 'Sea Honor'. Fortunately, there were no injuries among the crew. As a precautionary move, the crew of the 'Black Rhino', consisting of 15 members, was safely evacuated. The vessel was deliberately grounded to prevent it from obstructing the primary navigational waterway in the port, leaving its stern partially submerged. Following the incident, navigation in the port was temporarily halted while local authorities mobilized emergency response teams for channel clearance. Meanwhile, the damaged 'Sea Honor' was escorted to a safe anchorage where it was secured at position 03° 53' N 009° 32' E, revealing significant damage to its bow. Initial reports suggest that the collision may have been due to a loss of steering capability on the 'Black Rhino'. Authorities have launched a formal investigation to uncover the precise circumstances that led to this maritime mishap.
