CORDELIA MOON

* We have received reports that crude oil tanker CORDELIA MOON (IMO:9297888) was struck by an Uncrewed Surface Vessel, likely launched by the Houthi rebels, in a position approximately 64 nautical miles northwest of Hodeidah, Yemen, on 01 October 2024.

* It is reported that the vessel sustained a breach of a port ballast tank as a result of the strike and consequently experienced an ingress of water.

* The full extent of damage to the vessel is currently unclear but we are monitoring the situation. However, it is possible that General Average, Salvage and Recovery issues may arise as a result of this incident.

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