Defect vs Incident Reporting at Sea: Understanding the Difference, Managing the Risk

22/07/2026

Another successful milestone achieved!

Today, our vessel successfully completed the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Port State Control inspection with zero deficiencies.

Throughout my career as Master, I am grateful that no vessel under my command has ever received a Port State Control deficiency. This reflects the professionalism, discipline, and teamwork of every officer and crew member I have had the privilege to work with.

Safety, compliance, and operational excellence are never the result of one individual—they are built through consistent leadership, strong systems, and a committed team.

My sincere thanks to the entire ship's complement for their dedication and professionalism.

53 Days Across the Pacific & the Atlantic 🌊⚓

From 23 May to 17 July, we sailed from Vietnam to New Orleans, USA—a remarkable 53-days ocean passage that reminds me why life at sea is unlike any other!

Thousands of nautical miles.
Endless horizons.
Countless sunrises and sunsets.
Calm seas, rough weather, and the quiet strength that only the ocean can teach.

Every voyage is more than a destination; it’s a journey of discipline, resilience, teamwork, and respect for the sea. While the world moves fast on land, time takes on a different meaning in the middle of the Pacific & Atlantic—where the horizon stretches forever and every watch brings a new perspective.

Grateful to my crew for their professionalism and dedication throughout the voyage. Safe arrival in New Orleans marks the end of one passage and the beginning of another.

Fair winds and following seas!
