A “giant of the sea” blocked by the Port State Control of the Coast Guard at the port of Oristano due to “serious deficiencies in the on-board equipment and emergency fire-fighting systems”.

It is a “Bulk Carrier” type vessel, flying the flag of the Marshall Islands and 112 metres long, which arrived at the Oristano port on 17 September to carry out commercial operations.

During the stop, the specialized personnel of the Coast Guard ordered an inspection on board to verify the safety conditions, but found 17 violations.

For this reason, the captain was ordered to stop and the shipowners were ordered to restore the necessary safety conditions, in view of a subsequent inspection necessary to issue the green light for the restart.
