We have received reports that the "WAN HAI 307 ", a
2002 built container vessel flying the Singaporean flag, has
suffered a fire
The fire has been dampened down by the fire fighters but smoke
was still emanating from the vessel and cargo is still being
cooled. This vessel was involved in a collision with the
"ALPHA ACTION" some years ago, in a separate
casualty.
It is likely that significant cargo will be damaged by
extinguishing water as well as the fire itself. It is likely that
General Average will be declared.
So far as any recovery is concerned, we have identified the
vessel's P&I Club, which is headquartered in London.
If your own guarantees are not acceptable to salvors we can also
assist you in arranging salvage security to secure any salvage
claims, with a bail fee from 0.5% of the guarantee amount.
