German liner company Hapag-Lloyd has confirmed that another Covid-19 case has been detected among the crew of one of its chartered containerships that has been quarantined off Durban since late May.

The company said in a statement released on Monday that the 2,824-teu Montpellier (built 2006) will remain anchored off Durban for a further unspecified period of quarantine following the detection of a third case amongst the vessel’s crew.
