Korea to Mexico - The 51.5m ferry "Sergio Gracia Aguilar" which was built in  Korea for a Mexican client arrived in Cancun after a long and arduous journey. Even though the vessel departed long after the original suggested date due to late completion and thus had to travel through some severe weather and sea conditions, the IMS crew handled every obstacle thrown at them in a positive and professional manner, ensuring that the vessel arrived safe and sound. 

Due to the unusually long distances between bunker ports, the vessel had to carry 80 tons of excess fuel on her decks. IMS employed the services of a Naval Architect to ensure the safest placement of the reserve tanks so as not to put the crew in any unnecessary danger.
