Representatives of the flag State of the tanker Eagle S visited Finland. The ship sails under the flag of the Cook Islands. The Finnish Transport and Communications Agency Traficom hosted the visit as the Finnish flag State and port State authority.
During the visit, the Cook Islands representatives analysed the current situation and also visited the Eagle S on 9-10 January.
“Our cooperation has been very good. The Cook Islands representatives and the authorities have exchanged information, and we have established a shared situational picture. While on board the ship, the representatives went through the deficiencies observed in the port state control inspection with Traficom inspectors,” says Sanna Sonninen, Maritime Director at Traficom.
The representatives of the Cook Islands, the flag State of the Eagle S, have been in contact with the shipping company operating the ship about measures to rectify the deficiencies. They are now waiting for the shipping company to provide information about remedial action.
