Brett, here is your answer.

https://www.lloydsloadinglist.com/freight-directory/news/%E2%80%98Ever-Given%E2%80%99-vessel-owner-declares-%E2%80%98general-average%E2%80%99/78806.htm

I guess the article that I referred to was written by somebody who is not very versed in Maritime Law, and so am I by the way. It is going to be difficult, as the terminal has already stated that they cannot allocate 9000 units. If I understand the article correctly there is no loss of any cargo, but the cargo owners will be asked to contribute to the cost of the damage, in the widest of terms, caused by the ship.

Thanks Pieter, I do now recall reading that article. Most insurance will cover GA if you are indeed adequately insured. Depending on your terms of sale...one would be foolish to not include full cover...In a nutshell, GA is : The definition of a general average is: Rule A.

This video has interesting photos of EVER GIVEN in drydock (starting about 4 minutes in)

Even if the presenter doesn't get everything right, it is still illuminating.
Amongst the usual turgid reader-comments, it is confirmed that the "black markings" are indeed stress relief cuts, prior to removal of the forward section - replacement section apparently already fabricated
