NEW CASUALTY – MAERSK VILNIUS

We have learned of an incident involving the vessel MAERSK VILNIUS, a Singapore flag, 2010 built, 20,927gt fully cellular container ship, during a voyage from Freeport to Port Elizabeth.

MAERSK VILNIUS reportedly suffered a fire in the engine room, 220 nm from the French Overseas territory of Guadeloupe, during the morning of 26^th April. The vessel was drifting in a westerly direction at a speed of 1.4 knots, and the engine may no longer be operable, considering the reported damage. The shipowner has despatched tug ALP DEFENDER from Trinidad and Tobago, which is expected to arrive in the area today. The plan is to tow MAERSK VILNIUS to a port for repairs.
