Delphinus-C

Cargo discharge operations for the 'NYK Delphinus' are planned to begin on Aug 9 at the Port of Oakland, almost three months after the engine fire off the coast of California. On the morning of May 14 the ship reported an engine fire with 24 people on board approximately 50 miles west off the coast of Monterey. The fire was brought under control and the ship was eventually towed to the Port of Oakland. Among the cargo were a number of refrigerated reefer containers that had lost power in incident. The owners of the vessel declared General Average in May. Discharged containers can only be released after the General Average Security is submitted and confirmed by the adjuster. ONE notes that the GA security has still not been submitted for a “significant” number of containers.
