Container seal broken, cargo stolen.



This is to inform you that today, on June 17th, 2012 at 10.00 my Second Mate inspecting the cargo in Hold 3 found that container SU/MMF 123245673 under B/L 5 had been broached and part of cargo of woolen shawls was missing. It is evidently a case of pilferage by the stevedores working in the hold, as prior to commencement of discharging a cargo survey had been carried out and all the seals on the containers had been found intact.

A copy of the survey report is enclosed herewith. On my orders, the container has been detained on board for a damage survey and retallying the cargo.

I kindly ask you to invite an independent surveyor for drawing up the report, I give you a formal notice hereby that I hold you fully responsible for all losses arising therefrom and ask you to take necessary action.

 

 

21. Dear Sirs,

In compliance with my Owner’s instructions and in order to achieve the payment of all accounts within the shortest limits of time and also for our files you are kindly requested to hand me over the vouchers covering all expences sustained by my vessel in your port for the acceptance prior to the ship’s sailing.

 

A copy of each such document should be attached for my perusal as well. AShould your goodselves be unable for any reason fully to comply with the above please inform me writing what the additional expenses and amounts are.

Thank you in advance.

26. Dear Sirs,

I have to draw your attention to the fact that as a result of negligent and careless handling of the cargo by stevedores some damage was caused to the cargo during discharging.

Contrary to the correct practice of discharging from corners of a hold, bags had been stowed on slings, in corners and then dragged along the floor all the way through until lifted. Most bags turned out to be considerably torn and dirted, their contents partly spilled.

In view of the above I have to attribute all losses incurred hereupon to the stevedoring company of which please take due note.

Yours faithfully, …

 

27. Dear Sirs,

 

I have to draw your attention to the fact that owing to the negligent and careless handling of the cargo by stevedores much damage has been caused to the goods. Due to improper slining several boxes dropped from the slings and were totally broken.

As a result of inadmissible use of hooks a number of bags of cargo were badly torn and considerable leakage and loss ensued.

In the circumstances I have to make an official statement to the effect that my m/v “…” has brought the cargo in good order and condition and that I shall bear no responsibility for any claims in connection with the above mentioned damage which was caused to the goods in the course of such inefficient discharging.

At the same time I hold the Stevedoring Company … responsible for the damage caused and for all the consequences which may arise therefrom, of which I kindly request you to advise the said Stevedoring Company, Consignees and all concerned.

Yours faithfully, …

3. Hold No 4. Hand railings bent 2 metres.

4. On the main deck, railing in way of hold No 1 damaged for a length of about 3 metres.

29. Deare Sirs,

Please be advised that on completion of discharging the m/v “… “ the shortage of … sets of … under B/L No … has been found.

This is to declare that the cargo … was delivered in full cvompliance with the quantity shown in the B/L and the shortage took place owing to the miscalculation of your tallymen.
