The Ukpik: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

On July 6, 2026, the vessel 'Ukpik' was towed to Ocean Shipyard located in Les Mechins during its transit from Becancour. This operation was necessary to address issues related to the ship's controllable pitch propellers. Two tugs facilitated the towing process; 'Ocean Taiga' (IMO: 9679488) escorted the bow, while 'Ocean Stevns' (IMO: 9224960) provided steering support at the stern.

On January 15, 2017, the remnants of two luxury yachts, namely the "BBC Utah," were sent adrift during a fierce storm, ultimately washing up along the picturesque coastline of Mallorca. They were found scattered across the shores of Sóller, Cala Tuent, Sant Elm, and Portocolom, with debris stretching over extensive areas of rocky beach. These vessels, measuring 30 and 40 meters in length, had originally gone missing off the northeastern coast of Spain near Cabo de Creus, Girona. The identification process for the wrecks has proven challenging due to the severely damaged condition of the hull remnants.
