Vela-Leader Ship Details and Seafarer Feedback

In a significant maritime transaction, a vessel has been sold for an impressive $31 million to an undisclosed group of new owners. Details surrounding the sale remain scarce, with the identity of the buyers kept under wraps. This deal marks a notable event in the shipping industry, highlighting ongoing investment and interest in maritime assets.

On the evening of June 29, around 6:00 PM, a harrowing incident unfolded when the crew member of the car carrier M/V Green Lake experienced a serious fall. According to reports from Bernews, the 54-year-old individual was performing duties on the vessel when a ladder he was using malfunctioned, causing him to plunge into the waters below. The situation quickly escalated as the ship deployed a life ring and smoke flare in a frantic effort to locate him. After slowing its pace and returning to the vicinity, a search initiated in response to the activated smoke flare led to the successful retrieval of the crew member. The pilot boat St. George promptly transported the injured crew member to a waiting ambulance at Ordnance Island for medical attention.
