Ottoman-Tenacity

On June 23, 2024, at 9:57 p.m., the 'Ottoman Tenacity', en route from Bettioua to Cadiz, reported that a crew member had fallen overboard at the Banco del Hoyo anchorage, 16 nautical miles from Barbate, on the coast of Cádiz. The SAR helicpopter Helimer 223 and the SAR boat 'Salvamar Enif' were mobilized to search for the man. Later the SAR boat 'Salvamar Suhail' joined the SAR operation. Salvamento Marítimo also issued warnings to ships in the vicinity. The active search has been stopped on June 24.

Libya's eastern Zueitina oil port received late on Thursday, May 1, its first tanker of crude since reopening after nearly ten months due to protests, state-run National Oil Corp (NOC) said. The tanker would load one million barrels of crude, NOC spokesman Mohammed El Harari said. According to shipping sources, Austria's OMV had chartered the Ottoman Tenacity. A second tanker would load crude on May 5 and a third one after that, Harari said. NOC lifted force majeure on the port on April 28 following a recent deal with federalist protesters to reopen the smallest two of four blocked eastern ports. Source: Reuters
