The Star-Georgia: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

On the afternoon of February 16, 2022, a dramatic rescue unfolded when the cargo vessel 'Star Georgia', on its way to Ust-Luga, reported a crew member overboard approximately 10 nautical miles from Punta de Gando. The urgent alert prompted the Maritime Rescue Coordination Center (MRCC) at Salvamento Marítimo in Las Palmas to spring into action, deploying the SAR helicopter Helimer 201 alongside the 'Salvamar Nunki' rescue boat. Nearby vessels were also alerted to assist in the operation. Thanks to the prompt efforts of the 'Salvamar Nunki' crew, the missing seafarer was successfully located and brought back to safety, albeit with signs of hypothermia. This incident underscores the critical importance of swift action in maritime emergencies.

Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) has successfully delivered the vessel Tachibana to a new time charter. The ship's journey commenced along the east coast of Australia, and it is set for redelivery in Japan. This charter is valued at a daily rate of $14,850, underscoring MOL's continued commitment to providing robust maritime services in the region.
