ALWAYS CARGO SHORTAGE IN ALGERIA [IMPORTANT AWARENESS]

WE ARE ATTENDING VERY OFTEN IN ALGERIE FOR DRAFT SURVEY & UNSEALING OF HOLDS, SPECIALLY IN ORAN PORT AND ONE IMPORTANT THING THAT RAISED OUR ATTENTION IS THAT THERE IS ALWAYS CARGO SHORTAGE.

THE LAST VESSEL WE ATTENDED HAD DISCHARGING OPERATIONS COMPLETED IN 1/MARCH, BEING THE SHORE FIGURES PRESENTING A SHORTAGE OF -69MT COMPARING TO THE B/L FIGURE [MANIFESTED]:

===========================================
FINAL CARGO FIGURES:
MANIFESTED: 29,450.000 MT
RECEIVER DRAFT SURVEY: 29,381.700 MT [-68.3 MT]
SHORE SCALE: 29,380.500 MT [-69.5 MT]
===========================================

UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, WE IDENTIFIED A CONSIDERABLE CARGO SPILLAGE, DUE TO TECHNICAL CONDITION OF THE SHORE GRAB & SHORE HOPPERS, AND NEGLIGENCE FROM SHORE OPERATORS – AS CAN BE SEEN IN THE PHOTOS BELOW:

IT CAN BE SEEN CARGO SPILLAGE IN SHORE GRAB [CAMSHELLS MISALIGNED], AS WELL AS IN SHORE HOPPERS OPENING/CLOSING MECHANISM.

QUAY AND DECK ARE COVERED WITH SPILLED CARGO.

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.
