Troubled MAERSK container ships Update Mar 24

Container ship MAERSK HONAM
As of 1130 UTC Mar 24, MAERSK HONAM and tugs engaged in salvage were in vicinity 22 15N 064 14E, heading northwest for seemingly, Hormuz Strait.
Most comprehensive report on situation, important first of all, for minor shippers, was published in The Loadstar on Mar 22:
Maersk Line has confirmed the “most likely” port of refuge for the fire-damaged Maersk Honam as Jebel Ali, Dubai – but it may be weeks before the ship can berth. Which means it could be months before the surviving containers reach their original destination.
A Maersk spokesman told The Loadstar, that the fire remained “under control” and “salvage work continues”. But he added: “It will probably take a few weeks and further investigations before we will be able to bring the vessel alongside.”
