Tanker assisted distressed migrants

The SAR vessel 'Guardamar Calliope' has rescued 35 migrants of North African origin located by the 'Dan Sabia' in the Atlantic in the night of Jan 18, 2022, outside the usual routes to the Canary Islands, already surpassing the islands some 210 northwest of Lanzarote. The tanker, en route from Setubal to Salvador da Bahia, provided water and some food to the migrants and stayed with them until the SAR ship arrived. The castaways were taken to the port of Arrecife in the foremidday of Jan 19.

Lauritzen sells shuttle tanker to KNOT

Knutsen NYK Offshore Tankers AS, of which NYK has a 50 percent share, has officially reached an agreement with J. Lauritzen A/S to purchase its three shuttle tankers, the company said in its press release. The shuttle tanker fleet acquired by KNOT consists of the following vessels: 1. Dan Eagle (built: 1999; DWT: 45,000 tonnes) 2. Dan Cisne (built: 2011; DWT: 59,000 tonnes) 3. Dan Sabia (built: 2012; DWT 59,000 tonnes) After delivery to NYK, Dan Eagle is assigned to a five-year time-charter for Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. Since their respective deliveries from the shipyard in 2011 and 2012, Dan Cisne and Dan Sabia have each been engaged in a 12-year time-charter for Petrobras Transporte S.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of Petrobras SA., and these two shuttle tankers will continue to provide this service. This purchase will grow the NYK Group’s shuttle tanker fleet to 28 ships, and the group’s offshore business will resultantly expand with a focus on crude-oil transport from the North Sea and the waters off Brazil.
