Historic crossing of Captain Nikos through the Suez Canal

The maiden transit of the vessel through the Suez Canal was not just another maritime event; it was a symbolic and emotional meeting of two Group companies at one of the most strategic points in global shipping geography

Newsroom September 30 12:34

Antipollution Egypt warmly and honorably welcomed the Captain Nikos of VENERGY MARITIME, marking the beginning of a new era for the V Group. The vessel’s first passage through the Suez Canal represented more than a routine nautical operation—it symbolized a meaningful convergence of two Group companies at one of the world’s most critical shipping junctions.

The Captain Nikos, with a capacity of 50,000 DWT and IMO number 9828144, entered the Canal on the morning of September 23. Its journey started from the first station at 05:53 and completed the transit at 15:50. The vessel was positioned as number three in the list for the southern convoy the following day, reflecting the meticulous planning and precision that characterize Suez Canal operations.

This moment goes beyond its technical significance. It highlights the collaboration between VENERGY MARITIME and Antipollution Egypt, united at a pivotal point for global trade.
