Mediterranean Shipping Co (MSC) is taking action to avoid declaration of a general average after an AP Moller-Maersk boxship was disabled by fire off Portugal last month.
The 13,100-teu Maersk Elba (built 2010) suffered the blaze in its engine room at the end of December while en route from Suez to Felixstowe.
The ship was carrying cargo for MSC as part of its Shogun service.
