Pancaran-Glory

On Jan 24, 2025, at 6.53 p.m. WITA, the 'Lumoso Harmoni' (IMO: 9405461) slammed into the starboard side of the 'Pancaran Glory' at the Muara Sampara Morosi Port, while maneuvering to dock at the jetty with assistance from three tugs. The allision caused a 2.92-meter-long scratch on the side of the 'Pancaran Glory' above the waterline. No casualties were reported from the incident. An inspection team conducted a visual assessment of the upper hull of the ship. However, an underwater survey was required to check for potential damage, such as deformation or leaks, which was pending the arrival of divers. Preliminary findings suggested that the bullwalk and bulbous bow of the 'Lumoso Harmony' were damaged too. Precautionary measures have been taken to ensure there were no leaks or severe damages that could compromise the vessel's safety.

An African stowaway, aged 22, was found with malaria aboard the "Saturnus" Santos. In the afternoon of Nov 18, 2015, he was taken to the Portuguese Charity Hospital, accompanied by inspectors of the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) and federal police. He will remain hospitalized and will undergo further tests. The vessel remained banned and unable to operate in the Santos dock. Anvisa personnel collected blood samples of the 21 crew members. The results were expected on Nov 19. The "Saturnus" will have to meet sanitary requirements in order to be issued the document known as the Free Practice (LP) - which will allow the loading of 48000 tons of sugar. It must install thermometers for refrigerators, bins, replace air filters and remove waste.

On May 18, 2015, the "Saturnus" with its 22 Indian crew members was finally able to leave the port of Hodeidah after waiting to unload a cargo of wheat since Apr 7. The reason that the ship was not able to berth were ongoing battles of Saudi-led forces against Houthi militia in Yeme. The shipping company got the message from the Saudi-led forces that anything could happen if the ship docked. At the same time the charterer claimed that the situation in the port was normal and that the ship could safely enter. But the situation was not normal because the port was blocked by a ship from the Saudi-led coalition forces. On one occasion soldiers went on board the ship. The crew had to sit on the deck with their hands in the air. The delay has cost the shipping company more than 1,5 million dollars, and it was not ruled out that the case could get a legal aftermath.
