Tina I

--------------UPDATE--------------

24 November 2020

* It is now reported that TINA I ran aground in the Singapore Strait following an allision with another container vessel that has been aground in the same area since May 2020. The TINA I remains aground.

*A video of the casualty can be found at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sf5qG-wIfls&feature=youtu.be

* Indonesian Authorities have despatched patrol boats to the scene and it is understood that the crew will be evacuated.

* TINA I is reported to have been carrying 4,096 containers at the material time and we have surveyors standing by in Indonesia and Singapore to provide immediate assistance.

* The vessel will almost certainly require professional salvage services and we stand ready to assist with provision of salvage security. In the event that a LOF salvage agreement is put in place, WKW security is acceptable to the Council of Lloyd's and is a preferred option by professional salvors. General Average may also be declared, thereby requiring the provision of General Average securities before cargo is released.

* Given the current situation we strongly recommend you contact us as soon as possible if you are concerned with any cargo on board TINA I so that we may start taking immediate steps to protect your interests.
