Smit and Ardent Salvage have returned the 15,262-teu Maersk Honam (built 2017) to its owner Maersk Line following the successful berthing of the vessel at Jebel Ali and completion of Lloyds Open Form (LOF) salvage services.

The two Netherlands-based outfits were appointed joint LOF salvors following the explosion and fire on the Maersk Line-owned vessel in the Arabian Sea in March.
