Working Conditions Aboard the Thoth

On January 8, 2020, the oil tanker 'Trans Holm', which was transporting a crew of 16 from Eastham to Barcelona, faced a critical main engine fuel pump failure. This incident occurred at coordinates 51 43 02 N and 006 07 57 W, approximately 36 nautical miles west of St. Ann's Head at 2:40 AM. Although the crew managed to quickly address the issue initially, the vessel still needed to navigate the Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS) safely. The UK Coastguard projected that the necessary pump replacement would take between four to six hours to complete. The 'Trans Holm' also requested the reinstatement of its security broadcast and coordination with the Falmouth Coastguard, which was crucial for ensuring safe navigation through UK waters during the repair period. By 1:50 PM, the crew successfully resolved the pump failure, allowing the vessel to resume its voyage. Throughout this time, the Milford Haven Coastguard and Falmouth Coastguard closely monitored the tanker to secure its safe passage back into open waters.

On January 17, 2019, the tanker 'Trans Holm' encountered engine complications while navigating the waters of the North Sea, specifically at coordinates 50°22'12"N, 000°41'06"W. Fortunately, the adept crew managed to resolve the technical glitches swiftly, allowing the vessel to resume its journey by 7 a.m. 'Trans Holm' had departed from Antwerp the previous day, January 16, and is en route to Tarragona, with an estimated arrival date of January 22.
