The cargo in the 198 containers will not be inspected and will be sent for destruction once offloaded from the vessel, Richards Hogg Lindley (RHL) as General Average and Salvage Adjusters said in an update.
An additional 460 containers which were stored in the affected area have been identified and require inspection.
“Door end inspections of the 460 containers will take place in Freeport, but we do not know at this stage when discharge operations or surveys will begin,” the companies added.
The containers onboard the Germany-flagged boxship were damaged after Yantian Express caught fire when sailing from Colombo to Halifax on January 3.
The 7,506 TEU boxship reached Freeport in the Bahamas last week for the evaluation process.
“Preparations have been underway with the local authorities, salvors and other interested parties to arrange for the discharge of all containers in the forward most portion of the vessel, in which the fire occurred,” according to Hapag-Lloyd.
由於上個月在Hapag-Lloyd的集裝箱船 Yantina Express上發生火災，共有198個集裝箱被發現最有可能完全失去。
一艘198集裝箱中的貨物將不會被檢查，一旦從船上卸下，將被送去銷毀，理查茲霍格林德利（RHL）作為共同海損和救助協調在一次的更新提及。
已經確定了另外460個儲存在受影響區域的容器，需要進行檢查。
“這些460集裝箱的門口檢查將在自由港進行，但我們現在還不知道何時會開始卸貨作業或調查，”這些公司補充說。
1月3日Yantina Express從Colombo航行到Halifax後起火，德國國旗船上的集裝箱遭到破壞。
上週，巴哈馬群島的自由港達到 7,506標準箱 ，用於評估過程。
Hapag-Lloyd表示，“地方當局，救助人和其他有關方面已經準備好安排在船隻最前部發生火災的所有集裝箱卸貨。”
