Pacific South Loop 3 (PS3) Service - MOL Charisma Voyage 211W - Incident - Update

Further to our September 3, 2020 advisory.

We have been informed that the vessel MOL CHARISMA (voyage 211W), deployed in our Pacific South 3 (PS3) service, will proceed to Singapore as the ship owner was unable to arrange a Salvor Surveyor and Fire Experts in either Colombo, Sri Lanka, or at Indian ports. Henceforth the vessel needs to turn back to Singapore, where experts are available. The estimated time of arrival (ETA) is September 13, 2020, 6 pm LT, Singapore Anchorage.

Without confirmation that the Cargo Hold no.5 is fully cleared of fire, we are unable to berth the vessel and commence cargo operations at any ports.

We are currently working on alternative arrangements to accommodate cargo originally intended for the voyage of the MOL Charisma and will provide further advice once available.

We regret the inconvenience caused by this incident, which remains beyond our control. We will continue to keep you updated on further developments.

If you have any questions, please contact your local Hapag-Lloyd AG sales representative.
