Flatbed truck damaged after getting stuck on ramp
A container fell off a DAF flatbed carrier while being unloaded from the 'Golden Carrier' at the Scarborough Port on Aug 5, 2026, at 10.30 p.m. The incident occurred due to ramp issues with the vessel. The truck, which was loaded with concrete blocks, got stuck and rolled backwards during the disembarkation. The vehicle's air tank valve broke off, the diesel tank was damaged and the drive shaft was bent. The driver had made three attempts to disembark, but got stuck each time. Port workers instructed him to try reversing off the vessel, but this failed as the drive shaft got stuck on the ramp. The vehicle rolled off the ramp as he exited it to get a closer look at the problem. As of 11 p.m., several other trucks got stuck trying to board the 'Golden Carrier' for the voyage back to Trinidad. One other truck was parked outside the port, as its diesel tank strap burst while the exhaust pipe of a Libero wagon was damaged. The Port Authority denied the driver's account of the incident, instead claiming the vehicle rolled off the ramp because its parking brake was not engaged. The authority said after conducting an investigation and reviewing footage, the driver was able to stop the truck a safe distance from other vehicles. The authority did not deny that several vehicles were stuck on the ramp and incurred damage.

GNV chartered ropax ferry to fill a gap
To fill a gap, the MSC-owned GNV has chartered the 'Golden Carrier' in the wake of Moby’s withdrawal from the Palermo-Naples route after been forced to sell some of its vessels to repay a loan granted by MSC. The A-Ships Management owned vessel has been taken in on charter for three months with an option for an extra three months. Due to a plan proposed and accepted by the Antitrust Authorit to avoid the risk of sanctions for possible abuse of dominant position on certain cabotage routes, Moby was forced to dispose of and sell several vessels. The 'Golden Carrier' was sold by the Unity Line (Polish Steamships) , then sailing as 'Wolin', to the A-Ships Management earlier in 2025.
