Vessel Description

ORION is a small general cargo vessel constructed in 1971, placing her in an aged category of conventional break-bulk cargo carriers common to West African coastal trades. With a gross tonnage of 1,578 GT and a deadweight of approximately 2,100 DWT, she is suited for lighter coastal cargo operations. Operating under the flag of Togo with call sign 5VAG7, the vessel is representative of older tonnage that continues to serve regional freight demand along the Gulf of Guinea corridor. Her relatively modest dimensions allow access to smaller port facilities along the West African coast that larger vessels cannot serve.
