The 'Galissas', laden with a cargo of gasoil on a voyage from Ar Ruways in the United Arab Emirates to Brazil, deviated to Cape Town due to main engine problems on June 11, 2018. Inspections were subsequently conducted on board and sea trials were undertaken with unsatisfactory results resulting in the vessel berthing at the JAckson Wharf in Cape Town again on July 4. The owners have declared GA and that further inspections were being conducted on the main engine in order to ascertain the cause of the problems. The possibility of cargo transhipment has not been reported although this cannot be ruled out depending on further investigations of the main engine problems.
