Logos Hope achieved two certificates this week which are crucial for the vessel to continue sailing. First the Passenger Ship Safety Certificate and harmonised certificates were issued by Lloyd’s Registered Surveyor Mr. Gary Fong. Then, as the ship is registered in Malta, the Malta Transport Authority sent an inspector who carried out a successful Flag State Inspection. The thorough assessment looked at everything from paperwork and the navigation equipment on the bridge to emergency procedures and the cleanliness of the galley (kitchen). Captain Tom Dyer (USA) expressed his, “many thanks to Technical Manager Harald Smit (Netherlands) for his guidance and oversight. Appreciation also to all Logos Hope crew and staff, as well as the marine team in the ship’s office in Mosbach, Germany who have worked long hours to achieve these certificates.”
