The Cargo ship Kento Scrapped, One of the worst examples of sub-standard shipping in recent years at a British port was the Panamanian flag wood chip carrier Donald Duckling of 43,866 dwt when she was arrested at South Shields on 15th November 2013 for ten deficiencies including four of a serious nature. These were grounds for detention, with severely rusted and corroded raised hatch coamings and deck plating. She had been completed in May 1997 as Tern Spirit by the Sanoyas Hishino Meisho Corporation at Kurashiki in Japan, with NKK of Japan as her classification society. She was renamed Stellar Lily in 2008 and sold to the TMT bulk Corporation of Taiwan in 2012 and renamed Donald Duckling. She had six holds and six raised hatches served by three cranes of 14.7 tonnes capacity with dimensions of length 195 metres, moulded beam of 32.2 metres and draft of 10.6 metres.
