The SEA Service vessel MV Northern Jupiter voyage 949N, experienced a main engine fire on Saturday morning January 4, 2020 whilst she was sailing from Singapore to Port Kelang.
The vessel operators advised us that after the incident the vessel was safely anchored in the vicinity of the Malacca Straits before she was permitted to be towed back to Singapore on the 16th of January for technical assessment of damage.
Due to the severity of this incident, the owners of MV Northern Jupiter have now declared General Average.
Owners have appointed Stichling Hahn Hilbrich (Hamburg & London) as Average Adjusters. They will be arranging for the collection of General Average securities from parties concerned in cargo, containers and bunkers. Their contact details are as follows:
