Vessel Description

The vessel is a small Turkish-flagged general cargo ship constructed in 1983, placing it within a class of aging short-sea traders commonly operating under the Turkish flag. With a deadweight of approximately 2,450 tonnes and a length of around 82 meters, the vessel is suited for regional bulk and break-bulk cargo operations. The name references Didim, a coastal district in Aydin Province on Turkey's Aegean coast, and Fatsa, a district and port town in Ordu Province on the Black Sea coast, suggesting possible operational ties to both Turkish coasts. As a vessel of this age and class, it is subject to Port State Control inspections under the applicable regional memoranda of understanding.
