Reports have been received that Panama flag vessel HAINA GOLDEN (43697gt built 1980) has run aground whilst sailing from Kandla.
The accident occurred last week after the bulk carrier had loaded a cargo of salt. Reportedly the vessel grounded whilst navigating at the edge of the channel to avoid another vessel.
The ship has been aground for several days but is not impeding shipping. Refloating attempts will be undertaken shortly. No pollution or injury has been reported.
It is possible that a salvage claim will be made against the owners/insurers of the cargo on board this vessel. It is also possible that general average will be declared.
