We have learned of an incident involving the Vessel UGO DE CARLINI, an Italy flag, 2010 built, 91,971gt bulk carrier.

The vessel is reported to have sustained hull damage off the Liberian coast at Buchanan, carrying a cargo of iron ore fines on a voyage from Huanghua, China to Tobarao, Brazil.

The vessel signed LOF Salvage Agreement with SMIT Salvage BV.

Following completion of salvage services it should be anticipated that security will be required and if W.E. Cox Claims Group may be of assistance in this respect and to undertake the salvage negotiations, please do not hesitate to contact us. Likewise, in the event that General Average is declared, we are ideally suited to assist in this respect also.
