Detention of vessel in Aberdeen


Surveyors acting for the Maritime and Coastguard Agency detained offshore supply vessel Ben Nevis yesterday (October 5), which is currently at Aberdeen Harbour.

 

The detention is a preventative measure in line with UK Regulations, in order that a full inspection of the ship related to the Maritime Labour Convention can be carried out before its intended departure. It cannot leave the port until the inspection is completed. 

 

Acting as the Port State Control Authority for the UK, the MCA has taken this action following concerns raised about the welfare of the crew.  

 

Fraser Heasley, Assistant Director Survey and Inspection said: “We will always take reports around crew welfare seriously and we have used our powers as the Port State Control authority to carry out this detention so that we can investigate more fully.”

  1. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
