We have learned of an incident involving the vessel “WAN HAI 502”, a 2005 built 42,532gt Fully Cellular Containership which ran aground at Lat. 01-13.40S., Long. 106-49.69E 30th August 2018.
It is understood that the Vessel was en-route from Jakarta to Singapore with 38,390MT of containerized cargo and that she is engaged on a rotational voyage between China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. As these ports involve significant transshipment operations it is likely that international cargoes will have been affected.
