The veteran cruise ship Oceanic was detained in port in New York last week by the US Coast Guard due to a number of deficiencies. The 1965-built vessel was stopped from sailing to Venezuela with 838 passengers onboard because she was, according to the USCG, in an unseaworthy condition.
A routine safety inspection revealed minor hull damage in way of the bow and several maintenance deficiencies.
Oceanic is owned by Malta’s Japan Grace Co and operated by Florida-based Seahawk North America.
