Vessel Description

B.LEZA is a relatively modern general cargo vessel registered under the Cape Verde flag, operating primarily within the West African coastal trade region. Built in 2018, the vessel supports inter-island cargo transport within the Cape Verde archipelago as well as broader West African coastal trade routes. Her modest size and shallow draft make her well suited for smaller regional port calls that may be inaccessible to larger cargo vessels. The vessel is equipped with a Class A AIS transponder, ensuring continuous vessel tracking and compliance with international maritime regulations under SOLAS requirements. Her name references a musical genre deeply rooted in Cape Verdean cultural heritage, reflecting a national identity in her registry and operations.
