DISCHARGING SUPERVISION

WE ARE PERFORMING DISCHARGING SUPERVISION VERY OFTEN, IN:

CHAGUARAMAS, POINT LISAS [TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO];
SFAX [TUNISIA];
DAKAR [SENEGAL];
CAUCEDO, SAN SOUCI & RIO HAINA [DOMINICAN REPUBLIC];
GHENT [BELGIUM];
PARANAGUA, SANTOS & RIO GRANDE [BRAZIL];

ONE SUPER IMPORTANT THING THAT WE DO ON DISCHARGING SUPERVISIONS IS TO TAKE PHOTOS SHOWING CARGO SPILLAGE IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE VESSEL AGAINST SHORTAGE CLAIMS.

BELOW WE SHOW SOME PHOTOS OF CARGO SPILLAGE ASHORE, DURING DISCHARGING OPERATION:

CARGO SPILLED ON QUAY, IN SFAX PORT, TUNISIA

CARGO SPILLAGE ASHORE BY PORT OPERATOR, IN DAKAR, SENEGAL

VERY IMPORTANT TO REGISTER THE CARGO SPILLAGES IN SHORE EQUIPMENT, BY DEPICTING ALONG NUMEROUS PHOTOS, AND ISSUE A LETTER OF PROTEST – IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE VESSEL AGAINST SHORTAGE CLAIMS.

USUALLY, OUR CLIENTS ALSO REQUEST DRAFT SURVEY, TALLY SURVEY AND UNSEALING OF HOLDS, IN ORDER TO HAVE ALL THE STEPS OF DISCHARGING OPERATION DULY REGISTERED AND DEPICTED ALONG NUMEROUS PHOTOS.
