News - MHIC Clears Shipment of Art
Posted: Thu Jan 10, 2019 3:06 pm
After a prolonged dispute over directing such a large shipment through a relatively minor port, the Maldon Harbour Improvement Commission has approved the unloading of the CS Wadjet, a shipping vessel carrying a portion of the extensive art collection of Dame Rashida Muqaddam, known for her charitable work in and around Essex. From Maldon, the collection is slated to be loaded to rail and shipped to Chelmsford, in anticipation of the opening of the Faroukh Muqaddam Memorial Gallery, named for Dame Rashida's grandfather. With this shipment now en route, the gallery is slated to open January 18th.
