The International Chamber of Shipping, (ICS), of which HKSOA is a Member, would like to draw your attention to its statement on the recent release of the MV Ever Given, which the ICS was pleased to play a brokering role for all parties.

At a ceremony in the Suez town of Ismailia on Wednesday, an official contract was signed permitting the ship to leave the Great Bitter Lake section of the canal, where it had been impounded by the SCA after being refloated on March 29th. ICS notes with relief that the mainly Indian crew are now able to be relieved.
