Information of the adjusters Groninger Welke Janssen regarding the further proceedings of MSC FLAMINIA’s general average:
“The carrier, MSC, has meanwhile indicated that an on-carriage of cargo to Bremerhaven / Antwerp is being planned in the very near future for all cargo which has been found fit for on-carriage and for which proper Salvage and General Average Securities have been provided.
Cargo interests are therefore, once again, requested to urgently put up security as MSC will consider an on-carriage once a sufficient number of containers are ready for on-carriage.
Some cargo underwriters refuse to issue cargo securities before their insured cargo has been fully surveyed. Please be aware that this will significantly delay the release process. We would therefore suggest that cargo underwriters give security for the full value of the cargo and once the cargo is fully surveyed the cargo values will be adjusted and in line with the joint survey findings also the value of the guarantees will be amended.
Considering the amount of containers already surveyed as per today the Adjusters expect that an on-carriage could take place still in October, always depending on cargo interests prompt provision of securities, if not already submitted.”
