Further to our Customer Advisory dated January 23, 2020, we would like to update you on General Average status of the vessel and GA Security requirements for this incident.
The vessel remains safely at the anchorage in Singapore and the vessel operator ANL is actively negotiating with the owners of the vessel and PSA Singapore to berth the vessel at Singapore for all cargo discharge as a priority.
As you are aware the vessel Owners have appointed Stichling Hahn Hilbrich (Hamburg & London) (“SHH”) as Average Adjusters. SHH has provided the following requirements for the GA securities. The cargo will only be released upon provision of the these required GA securities.
(Required securities)
• Copy of commercial invoice and corresponding packing list.
• Copy of Bill of Lading, with all pages including all attachments.

• Average Bond, completed, signed and stamped by shipper or receiver.
• Average Guarantee, completed, signed and stamped by cargo insurers rated BBB+ or better, in case the cargo is insured.
• Copy of the insurance premium invoice, if readily available. Otherwise, we add 0.1 per cent to the FOB value and sea freight value as insurance premium.
