LOBIVIA

------------------GA SECURITY REQUIRED-------------------

14 August 2024

* Further to our initial report concerning the missile strikes on the container ship LOBIVIA, owners of the vessel have now declared General Average as a consequence of the extra-ordinary costs incurred as a result of the missile strikes.

* Accordingly, General Average security will be required from all cargo interests prior to the delivery of their cargo and we are likely to be able to assist in that regard.

* We are already instructed by particular cargo insurers and we may therefore be able to offer certain economies of scale in respect of any third party costs which may need to be incurred in handling this case.

* We therefore recommend that you contact us urgently if you are concerned with any cargo on board this vessel so that we may immediately start taking steps to protect your interests.

* We have received reports that container ship LOBIVIA (IMO: 9228564) was stuck by two missiles, said to be launched by Houthi rebels, in a position approximately 83 nautical miles southeast of Aden, Yemen, on 19 July 2024.

* It is reported that the vessel sustained damage to its port side as a consequence of the missile strikes.

* It is possible that General Average / Salvage and associated Recovery issues may arise as a result of this casualty.

* We therefore recommend that you contact us if you are concerned with any cargo on board this vessel so that we can immediately start taking steps to protect your interests.
