Intercargo has urged owners and operators to exercise “extreme caution” when accepting nickel ore and other cargoes that have the potential to liquefy.
The warning comes in the wake of the disappearance of the 52,400-dwt Nur Allya (built 2002) which is said to have been carrying such a cargo.
Intercargo said that although the cause of the potential casualty is not known, it must be established by a “prompt investigation” by the Indonesian Authorities.
