Interlink Sagacity

* We have received reports that bulk carrier INTERLINK SAGACITY experienced a fire in the engine room whilst in a position south of Albany, Western Australia on 30 December 2022.

* The fire is reported to have caused significant damage to the vessel's engine room before it was extinguished by the crew and the vessel was disabled as a consequence.

* The vessel is reported to currently be at anchor at Albany anchorage, undergoing repairs.

* It is possible that shipowners will declare General Average as a result of this casualty. If so, General Average security may be required from all Cargo Interests prior to the delivery of the cargo and we are likely to be able to assist in that regard.

* We therefore recommend that you contact us if you are concerned with any cargo on board this vessel so that we can immediately start taking steps to protect your interests.
