“Vessel Casualty Report gives details of vessels which have met with some casualty while carrying cargo from one Port to another and which may have resulted in (i) loss/damage to the cargo carried in the vessel or (ii) General Average Loss/Expenditure.

Please go through the Casualty Report and check whether your cargo had been carried in any of the vessels mentioned therein and check with your Cargo Handling Agents whether there is any loss/damage to your cargo.  If yes, we can help you in arranging survey and doing other formalities related to the Insurance Claim.

Even if there is no loss/damage to your cargo, there may be a General Average Loss/Expenditure incurred by other Cargo Owners /Shipping Co. for which the Shipping Company may send you notice demanding your share of loss. Similarly, in case your cargo is part of the General Average Loss, you need to recover the loss. In such events also, we can help you in completing the Insurance formalities”.

“HOEGH XIAMEN” – IMO:9431848 – Flag: Norway – Type: Cargo Ship

The fire aboard the ‘Hoegh Xiamen’ continued to burn the third day while the effort was to keep the hull cooled so that it did not break. Therefore, about 100,000 liters of water were sprayed per minute onto the ship from all angles at the Blount Island terminal off Jacksonville. The effort was solely about keeping the hull’s temperature down. The fire is allowed to burn out. The temperature in the hull reached 175 degrees when the fire was at its peak and was now kept between 32 and 38 degrees. The firefighters were working in four-hour shifts. The goal was to reach a stage where it was safe to remove all fuel from the ship. There were no signs of contamination to date, but oil barriers have been laid out as a precaution.
