5 June 2024

------------------GA SECURITY REQUIRED-------------------

* Further to our recent reports concerning the fire onboard container carrier NORTHERN JUVENILE (IMO: 9450349), we have received the following information:

* We are advised that the owners have declared General Average as a consequence of the fire.

* Consequently, General Average security, in addition to salvage security, will be required from all Cargo Interests prior to the delivery of their cargo, and we may be able to assist in that regard.

* We are already instructed for certain cargo onboard the vessel and we may be able to offer certain economies of scale in respect of any third party costs which may need to be incurred in handling this case, including investigative costs of the cause of the fire.

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

------------------ORIGINAL-----------------

* We have received reports that container carrier, NORTHERN JUVENILE (IMO: 9450349), experienced a serious fire within the cargo whilst in a position approximately 104 nautical miles south west of Bande Aceh, Indonesia on 26 May 2024.

* We are advised that, as a result of the fire, shipowners have entered into a salvage agreement with professional salvors under LOF terms to provide firefighting and salvage assistance to the vessel.

* Consequently, salvage security will be required to be provided by a party acceptable to the salvors or the Council of Lloyd's on behalf of cargo interests and W K Webster may be able to assist. Security provided by WKW is acceptable to the Council of Lloyd's and widely preferred by professional salvors.

* If General Average is declared, General Average security will also be required from all cargo interests prior to the delivery of their cargo, and we are likely to be able to assist in that regard also.

* We are currently investigating this serious incident further, but recommend that you contact us urgently if you are concerned with any cargo on board this vessel so that we can immediately start taking steps to protect your interests.
