OCEAN Network Express (ONE) has advised customers that the one Orpheus which was involved in last week's incident at the Suez Canal will require repairs before proceeding.
The vessel which had been due to reach Rotterdam in the Netherlands at the end of this week has been holding in the anchorage off Port Said, Egypt since it was refloated and exited the Suez Canal early on December 7, reports Fort Lauderdale's The Maritime Executive.
According to the advisory to customers, it has been determined that the 104,525 dwt containership will 'undergo temporary repair', which started on Monday, December 11.
No additional details were provided on the extent of the repairs required. The company is telling customers that it will 'keep you updated on the progress and vessel's schedule once more information will be available.'
Last week, ONE confirmed that the vessel, which has a capacity of 9,040 TEU and is 1,102 feet in length (336 meters), had grounded on December 6 after striking a floating bridge in the Suez Canal. Pictures showed the vessel diagonally across most of the northbound channel of the canal in an area north of Great Bitter Lake.
No indication was given on how long the vessel might remain in Egypt.
