Working Conditions Aboard the Shaman-Wisdom

On August 22, 2021, a notable rescue operation unfolded at the Port of Trieste when the emergency services responded to an urgent call from the anchored vessel, 'Shaman Wisdom'. The vessel's crew reported a crew member suffering from a high fever and severe abdominal pain. Once notified, the Coast Guard assigned a patrol boat to transport medical professionals to the scene. Bad weather posed challenges during the operation, but an ambulance swiftly transported a doctor and a nurse to the quay, from where they departed on the patrol boat. Upon arrival, medical personnel conducted a thorough examination of the afflicted man. Fortunately, after ruling out any concerns related to Covid-19, they diagnosed him with a strong urinary tract infection, determining that treatment with antibiotics would suffice without requiring his disembarkation or hospitalization. This event reflects the quick coordination and effective response of local authorities to ensure the health and safety of maritime personnel.

In a strategic move, Nordic Hamburg Shipmanagement, based in Hamburg, has successfully sold three vessels en bloc to NRP Procurator in Norway. The deal, worth $9.2 million for each ship, includes the 'Nordic Visby,' 'Nordic Riga,' and 'Nordic Stockholm.' This transaction marks a significant moment in the maritime industry, emphasizing the ongoing active trade and acquisition activity among Norwegian shipping companies.
