The Sea-Wave-4: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

The vessel 'Panagia Kanala' has recently docked at a repair facility in Piraeus, where essential maintenance on its damaged engine is currently taking place. Technical teams onshore are spearheading the repair work, closely supervised by representatives from the ship's owners. This ship had departed from port on January 22, 2020, before making its way to Livorno as its initial destination post-repairs. Notably, 'Panagia Kanala' safely arrived at the merchant port of Livorno on February 17 at 7:15 a.m.

On June 18, 2019, a crucial towage operation commenced for the disabled cargo vessel 'Panagia Kanala,' which had been left adrift due to an engine failure since February 2019. The ship found itself stranded near Nea Karvali while operating in ballast condition. As the crew lacked the capacity to execute necessary repairs, the tugboat 'Asteri' was enlisted to assist in towing the distressed ship to Piraeus for extensive maintenance. After a challenging journey, the 'Panagia Kanala' successfully moored at the designated position of 37° 55.17' N 023° 32.54' E off the port on June 21 at precisely 12:30 AM.

The Panama Maritime Authority (AMP) has successfully facilitated the repatriation of the crew from the Panamanian-flagged vessel 'Pan Prosperity' (IMO No. 9125152), which had been left abandoned near the Port of Guanta in Venezuela. This situation unfolded after the Department of Maritime Labor Affairs of the Department of Seafarers received a labor complaint from the crew on March 1, 2017. Upon launching their investigation, officials confirmed that the stranded vessel was home to 14 crew members of Ukrainian nationality, who have now been brought back to safety. This incident highlights ongoing challenges faced by maritime workers and showcases AMP's commitment to addressing labor issues at sea.
