Dear Valued Customers,

Please take notice of the below pasted customer advisory issued by Ship Owner, Hapag Lloyd, in connection with the Yantian Express v. 108E incident.

***

Further to our Customer Info of April 9, 2019 we would like to keep you aware of further development as noted below:

Vessel repairs are now nearing completion and accordingly declaration of seaworthiness is expected shortly.

In spite of the fact that the deadline for submission has long expired, current status indicates that General Average and Salvage security has still not been posted for about one third of containers concerned.

In order to assist progress of vessel operational proceedings and salvage company approval, we again encourage all cargo interests to immediately provide the requested General Average and Salvage security in order to allow the containers to be delivered.

Dependent on final technical approval of vessel class and refitting of hatch covers, MV “Yantian Express” is now likely to depart from Freeport, Bahamas during the first half of May 2019 with the remaining cargo onboard.

The vessel shall then proceed to Halifax, Nova Scotia for delivery of remaining onboard cargoes. Exact date will be confirmed once forward schedule and terminal arrangements have been finally concluded.

***

We would encourage all cargo interests to provide the requested General Average and Salvage security in order to allow the containers to be delivered.

Relevant documents and case details can be viewed on the RHL website as follows: (please select vessel name from the drop down menue and insert password as noted)
