Treasure-Star Vessel Reviews and Specifications

On January 4, 2016, the bulk carrier 'Lowlands Kamsar' was detained by the U.S. Coast Guard in Seattle following a Port State Control inspection that uncovered multiple serious violations. The vessel will remain anchored in the Captain of the Port zone for Sector Puget Sound until all issues are resolved. During the inspection, officers noted that the automatic fire extinguishing system for the engine room had been intentionally disabled by the crew, posing a significant safety risk. Furthermore, the ship's owner, Misuga S.A., was found to have neglected their responsibility to implement necessary corrective measures. The Port State Control Branch at Sector Puget Sound is actively overseeing the situation and collaborating with the crew and representatives from Panama to rectify these deficiencies. At the time of the inspection, the 'Lowlands Kamsar' was engaged in cargo operations in Seattle.
