Halim-M

On Nov 18, 2024, staff of the Port State Control of the Port Authority in Oristano subjected the 'Halim M' to a PSC after its arrival from Alexandroupol, loaded with grain. The first checks carried out immediately revealed problems regarding the correct functioning of some on-board systems and lifeboats. Subsequently, the inspection continued with the simulation of a serious fire on board, which also led to the identification of problems with the emergency equipment and, in addition, to the observation that the crew members were not sufficiently prepared. The ship was therefore detained in port until the minimum safety conditions were restored and a further inspection with positive results has been carried ou. As a further measure, given the three detentions it has suffered in the last two years, the ship has been automatically banned from European Union ports for the next three months.
