We have received reports that the " MSC DANIELA ", a 2008 built container vessel flying the Panamanian flag, has had a fire off Sri Lanka.
It is carrying a cargo loaded in Asia and was bound for European ports.
The vessel may require professional assistance from salvors. Two Indian vessels are en route to help with fire fighting.
It is also 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.
We expect most of the bills of lading will provide for English law and jurisdiction.
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.
If you would like assistance in dealing with any claims for salvage, potential GA claims and recovery of your losses, please do contact us.
