Tanker suffered steering failure

Tue Aug 25 18:02:32 CEST 2026 Timsen

On Aug 23, 2026, at 11 p.m., the 'Front Altair', ballasting en route from Yalova to the Aegean Sea, suffered a steering failure off Kepez in the Dardanelles Strait and dropped anchor. After the captain reported the situation via radio to the Dardanelles Strait Vessel Traffic Services Directorate, the tugs 'Kurtarma 12' (IMO: 9854404) and 'Kurtarma 16' (IMO: 9915052) were dispatched to the area. Other vessels transiting the strait were also informed of the malfunction. The tanker was taken to the Karanlık Liman Anchorage under the instructions of the Çanakkale Port Authority by a pilot and the tugs and moored in pos. 40° 01' N 026° 16' E on Aug 25 at 9 a.m. The tanker was scheduled to resume its voyage following the completion of the necessary inspections and repairs.

Three stowaways removed from rudder compartment

Tue Jan 02 13:59:03 CET 2024 Timsen

The Nigerian Navy Ship 'Beecroft' has arrested three stowaways aboard a the 'Front Altair' at Lagos roadstead, bound for Europe, on Dec 27, 2023. The stowaways; Ebuka Daniel, 29-year-old, from Enugu state, Samuel Abraham, 32-year-old, from Edo State and Christian Happy, 32-year-old, from Delta state, were arrested for attempting illegal migration on the tanker. The patrol team extracted the stowaways concealed in the rudder compartment of the vessel, preventing them from exposure to life-threatening situations during the long voyage. They had boarded it with the assistance of fishermen for a fee of N20.000 and N5.000 respectively. The stowaways have been handed to the Nigerian Immigration Service for necessary action.

Tanker expected back in 4th quartal

Tue Aug 27 12:07:16 CEST 2019 Timsen

After the blast near the Strait of Hormuz in June the "Front Altair" will be back in service in the fourth quarter after repairs. The tanker was presently undergoing repairs and expected to resume operation in the fourth quarter of 2019. The company's modern vessels are designed to withstand catastrophic events in order to ensure the safety of the crew and cargo. The "Front Altair" had extensive insurance coverage and the impact on the company's earnings is expected to be minor.
