Dear Valued Unique Customers,
Further to the e-mail sent this morning, one of our good customers was nice enough to send us some pictures. It has been said “…a picture is worth a thousand words.” These pictures make a great argument for why having cargo insurance is very important. The cargo insurance not only protects your cargo but also the cost of “law of general averages” that can be applied by vessel operator. For more on law of general average, here is a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_average . If you would like to know more or purchase cargo insurance for your shipments, please do not hesitate to contact our sales department (atlsales@uli-atl.com).

Subject: SAILING DELAYED EX MUMBAI-NHAVA SHEVA DUE TO COLLISION OF
VESSELS
Dear All,
Please note due to collision of vessels MSC CHITRA with KHALIJA - III at the navigation channel at Mumbai Port on 7.8.2010, the in and out movement of all the vessels at Mumbai and Nhava Sheva Port have been suspended till further notice.
Due to the above incident the sailings of all the vessel from Saturday (7/8/2010) onwards have been delayed.
The oil spilling out from MSC Chitra (seen on Sunday) off Mumbai’s coast has started hitting the shores, making the ship a major environmental hazard for Mumbai-Nhava Sheva and its surrounding coastal areas.
The Mumbai Port Trust has closed down its navigational channel for bigger ships as MSC Chitra tilted nearly 75 degrees and 250 of its 1,219 containers carrying hazardous chemicals fell into the sea. The Panamanian vessel had collided with St Kitts-flagged vessel Khalijia 3 km off the city’s coast on Saturday.
State environment minister described the situation as very serious. The Coast Guard, the Navy as also port officials have expressed inability to contain the spill as the ship is tilted. The oil has spread to a 2 km area around the ship and has already touched Awas village in Raigad. The slick was also seen near Uran and Elephanta. MSC Chitra has 2,662 tonnes of fuel oil, 283.8 tones of diesel oil and 88,040 tons of lube oil.
The Mumbai port is currently shut for business and fishermen have been asked no to go out.The state’s disaster management committee will meet today in a belated bid to fire-fight.
We will keep you posted with further development.
