Captain medevaced in San Francisco Bay

The US Coast Guard medevaced the 54-year-old Philippine captain from the "Vittoria", which was en route from Tachibana to Stockton, in the San Francisco Bay in the evening of May 20, 2019. The pilot aboard the vessel contacted the Coast Guard San Francisco at approximately 6:20 p.m., reporting that the ship’s captain had clutched his chest and collapsed as the ship was making way to its anchorage south of Yerba Buena Island. A Coast Guard Air Station San Francisco MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew launched to medevac the man. The Dolphin crew arrived on scene, hoisted the ship’s captain and transferred him to Walnut Creek Medical Center – John Muir Health. His condition was unknown.

K Line panamax fixed on timecharter

K Line’s panamax bulk carrier Vittoria (78,259 dwt, built 2013) has been reported fixed on a 10- to 16-month timecharter to United, according to Baltic Exchange data. The charterer has mitigated against future freight rate volatility by fixing the vessel at a rate based on the Baltic Panamax Index’s weighted timecharter average (TCA) rate plus 15%. The TCA rate was today assessed at $4,589, a $61 decrease on Friday’s level. London-based shipbroker Alibra Shipping estimates one-year timecharter rates at $6,000 per day for panamax bulkers in the Atlantic basin and $5,500 daily for those in the Pacific. http://splash247.com/k-line-panamax-fixed-on-timecharter/
