This vessel is the former Estonian flagged GLORIA which has been under detention since August 2003 with multiple structural deficiencies.  The detention was reissued upon the vessel’s renaming and transfer to the Comoros Islands register. The vessel was sufficiently repaired by its current owners for the MCA to allow the vessel to sail on 19th April.
