Korean ship goes missing in Atlantic Ocean

 

 

 

 

A marine surveyor based in Singapore told Platts that it is premature to make assumptions on the reasons behind the vessel’s disappearance, but he revealed that VLOCs can be vulnerable to “stability stress” issues.

“This incident is one of the most unfortunate ones. I can only think about stability stress having a role in this case. In most cases, during the docking of VLOCs, the class surveyor of the vessel will look for possible cracks on the vessel,” said the marine surveyor.
