Norwegian marine insurers will have to foot a large slice of an escalating bill for a blaze on a Hoegh Autoliners car carrier at Blount Island Marine Terminal at Jacksonville in Florida.
Arendal-based Gard is the protection and indemnity cover provider for the 4,900-ceu Hoegh Xiamen (built 2010), which caught fire on 4 June, and is also listed among the ship’s hull insurers.
