*****Follow-up Casualty Report*****
NOVA CURA, carrying Turkish cargo, is still aground. Her crew members have been taken off the vessel.
The casualty has suffered water ingress and an oil spill has been reported.
Professional Salvors have now been contracted on LOF terms to rescue the ship and cargo. If the salvage operation is successful, it is likely that cargo insurers will be asked to provide salvage guarantees in London. Dolphin Maritime can assist with this.
It is also likely that General Average will be declared.
