MV Anvil Lupine — Project / steel

1. Particulars

Vessel MV Anvil Lupine (IMO 9633920) discharged 7,250 MT steel coils at London Gateway berth 1 between 2026-05-04 and 2026-05-06. Surveyor attended on 2026-05-04 at 14:00 UTC and again on 2026-05-06 at 10:00 UTC.

2. Cargo condition on arrival

Approximately 220 coils exhibited rust spots and seawater staining concentrated on outer wraps. Photographic record annex A.1–A.42. Moisture probe readings in annex B.

3. Cause and origin

Cargo hold 2 hatch seal degradation consistent with sea ingress during heavy weather encountered between latitudes 47°N–50°N, 03–05 May. Master's logs corroborate.

4. Quantum (preliminary)

Diminution in value of affected coils estimated at EUR 880,000 subject to receiver's acceptance and salvage realisation.

5. Recommendations

Subrogation against carrier under English law (COGSA 1971 incorporating Hague-Visby) appears supportable. General Average declared by master; contribution awaiting adjustment.
