Salvors continue to carry out firefighting operations on the Maersk Line container vessel Maersk Honam as it voyages to a UAE port of refuge.
Maersk's 2M partner MSC said in a note to customers that the ship has reached a position halfway between Karachi in Pakistan and Muscat in Oman, in the northern Arabian Sea.
The vessel is still being towed to anchor at Jebel Ali, where cargo will be offloaded.
The 15,262-teu ship (built 2017) was devastated by a blaze 340 miles off India's Lakshadweep Islands on 6 March. Five crew died.
"The firefighting and cooling operations are ongoing, with various hotspots remaining," MSC said.
"We will only be able to clarify the situation once the cargo has been discharged and inspected but we can now provide to the owners of cargoes that were stored in the holds 1 to 3 some certificate of total loss if requested."
With salvage operations ongoing, the general adjuster is not yet in a position to finalise his request for salvage security bonds, MSC added.
