Update from BDP International: General Average security will likely now be required from all Cargo Interests prior to the delivery of their cargo.  

The vessel has been moved to the Great Bitter Lake for inspection, but it is not presently clear how long it will remain there before continuing its passage through the Suez Canal and onwards to ports of discharge.

BDP International is actively monitoring the situation and reaching out to our customers who have cargo aboard the Ever Given. We will continue to share updates as we receive them, but should you have any questions or concerns please reach out to your local BDP representative.
