Marine cargo shortage and damage claims surveyor at port

Cargo shortage claims at ports commonly arise due to discrepancies between the quantity of goods documented and the quantity actually received, or due to physical damage during handling. These claims can involve disputes over measurement inaccuracies, mishandling, spillage, or theft. Accurate documentation and crew vigilance are crucial for mitigating such claims.

Ex:

Cargo shortage claims at Vietnamese ports, particularly for bulk cargoes, are a recurring issue, often leading to vessel arrests. Multiple bills of lading for the same cargo, manipulative draught surveys, and a lack of recognition of standard trade allowances contribute to these claims. Ports like Phu My (Cai Mep) and Cai Lan are frequently mentioned in connection with these claims.

It is common practice for shortages found at preceding ports to be reported to the cargo underwriters and receivers at the port of Cai Lan

Marine cargo damage claims at port:

Marine cargo damage claims at port involve handling claims for physical damage of goods during their transit through a port. This can include damage to containers, cargo, ship, or port infrastructure. Claims can arise from various situations, including improper handling, accidents, or negligence by parties involved in the port operations

Ex:

AIM Group reported a high level of instances of cargo damage occurring as a consequence of rainfall during discharge due to delay in closing of Hatch covers.

The ship owner (or marine cargo underwriters) also appointed AIM Group / marine cargo surveyors who are on behalf of them to control these issues.
