Working Conditions Aboard the Titania

On February 4, 2020, a 48-year-old man was swiftly rescued by a US Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City aircrew after sustaining serious injuries while working aboard the vessel 'Titania', located approximately 20 nautical miles south of Hatteras Island. The emergency was reported to the Coast Guard Sector North Carolina Command Center when crew members discovered the engineer semi-conscious and lying on the deck adjacent to a lathe he was operating. Responding promptly, a rescue MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter from Air Station Elizabeth City was deployed to the scene, successfully airlifting the injured individual. He was subsequently transported to Greenville Pitt Memorial Hospital in Greenville for urgent medical attention.

In a significant maritime event, Margaret Abela, the spouse of Malta's President, officially named the Titania, a new roll-on roll-off vessel operated by Wilh. Wilhelmsen. The ceremony took place at the picturesque Valletta Waterfront in Malta, adding a touch of local pride to the ship's launch. The Titania is an impressive 227.8-meter car and truck carrier, crafted at the renowned Daewoo Shipbuilding and Engineering yard. This state-of-the-art vessel boasts a capacity for 7,800 units and proudly flies the Maltese flag. The management of Titania is in the capable hands of Wilhelmsen Ship Management, based in Kuala Lumpur. Notably, the Wilh. Wilhelmsen Group has plans to expand its fleet with the delivery of seven additional vessels throughout 2012. Titania also marks the fifth vessel under Wilhelmsen's ownership to sail under the Maltese flag, following their establishment of a local subsidiary back in 2008. With Malta housing over 5,800 ships on its register, the country proudly stands as the largest ship registry in Europe, recognized by the Paris MoU.
