BQS IN RIO DE JANEIRO -> SUPPLY SHORTAGE
LAST WEEK WE PERFORMED BQS IN RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL, BEING IDENTIFIED A SHORTAGE ON SUPPLY OF -20.944 MT OF VLSFO.
========================
1) BUNKER DELIVERY RECEIPT QUANTITY: 700.265 TONS
2) QUANTITY RECEIVED ON VESSEL: 679.321 TONS
DIFFERENCE (2-1): 20.944 TONS (LESS)
========================
-THE SUPPLIER REFUSED TO STEM THE REMAINING QUANTITY.
-THE SUPPLIER REFUSED TO AMEND THE BDN TO THE REAL QUANTITY.
WE ASSISTED THE MASTER WITH THE ISSUANCE OF A LETTER OF PROTEST AND ALSO ISSUED OUR OWN LOP.
NOW, OUR CLIENT HAS ALL EVIDENCE OF THE SHORTAGE, TO RAISE A CLAIM ON SUPPLIER:
-CERTIFICATES ISSUED BY AN ACCREDITED MARINE SURVEYING COMPANY [SEATECH];
-SURVEY REPORT WITH PHOTOS AND ALL DOCUMENTS & TIMINGS;
-OUR CONTINUOUS ASSISTANCE;
THAT SHOWS THE IMPORTANCE OF HIRING AN ACCREDITED SURVEYING COMPANY -> WHEN A CLAIM ARISES, THE SURVEYING COMPANY NEEDS TO BE RECOGNIZED AND ACCREDITED BY INTERNATIONAL BUREAUS, OTHERWISE, CERTIFICATES ARE USELESS.
BELOW WE SHARE SOME PHOTOS OF THE BARGE ALONGSIDE THE VESSEL IN RIO DE JANEIRO INNER ANCHORAGE – FOR REFERENCE:
