Cargo unloading and transshipment is being planned, and specific arrangements will be made according to the adjuster's notice.
According to Yangming Shipping, after the accident, Ningbo Port authorities and local fire agencies responded quickly, took effective emergency measures, and successfully controlled the fire under professional guidance, until the announcement was issued, the accident has been completely dealt with. Regarding the specific cause of the accident, Yangming Shipping said that it will be referred to a third-party professional body for in-depth investigation.
The notice said that in order to allow the customer's goods to be released smoothly and avoid unnecessary delays, please contact the adjuster and provide the necessary insurance and corresponding documents. Please treat this notice as an emergency to avoid unnecessary delays: the goods will not be picked up until the guarantee is submitted.
At the same time, under the premise of ensuring the safety of the ship and the safety of the site environment, Yangming Shipping has begun to plan the unloading and transfer of the cargo on board with the approval of the port authorities.
Regarding the delivery and pick-up schedule of the affected goods, Yangming Shipping said that it will make arrangements based on the notice of the adjuster to ensure that the entire process is transparent and fair.
On August 12, in response to the "moving Ming" ship explosion accident at Ningbo Port, Yangming Shipping said that the relevant units are investigating the cause and responsibility of the accident, the amount of loss depends on the subsequent accident handling operations, and the initial estimate is between 1.5 million and 9.5 million US dollars.
Yangming Marine declared the accident as general average. This means that all the owners of the cargo loaded on the "moving bright" ship are responsible for the resulting losses and liabilities. In particular, the shippers are required to provide a general average guarantee before taking delivery of the goods to ensure that their goods can be taken smoothly.
According to the latest developments of the ship, the "moving Ming" vessel is still berthed at Ningbo Port, waiting for further processing. In addition, given that the ship had called at the port of Shanghai before the Ningbo Port accident and involved a number of shipping companies in the shared space business, we would like to remind the cargo owners and freight forwarders who have recently stowed the ship to maintain close communication with customers, shipping companies and other parties, and timely pay attention to the latest development of the accident and follow-up treatment.
