Report
20 April 2026
********** GA SECURITY REQUIRED **********
* Further to our initial report concerning the fire on board container ship, EVER LENIENT (IMO: 9604146), we can advise that shipowners have now declared GENERAL AVERAGE.
* GA security will therefore be required to be provided in respect of all cargo stowed on board the vessel at the time of the casualty prior to the delivery of the cargo and we will be able to assist in respect of the security requirements.
* We have already been instructed by a number of our clients and we are liaising with fire experts to investigate the cause of the fire. We also have cargo surveyors on hand to ascertain the extent of any physical loss or damage that may have been suffered by cargo as a result of the fire and the subsequent fire-fighting operation.
* In order to avoid undue delays, we strongly recommend that you contact us urgently if you are concerned with any cargo on board this vessel so that we can immediately start taking steps to protect your interests.
