Is That a Hole?
Recently, we embarked on yet another exciting survey assignment from one of our valued clients. This time around, we encountered water in the cargo hold of a pusher barge - a less than ideal scenario for the cargo of calcined petroleum coke! The adventure really kicked off when, during various inspections and repairs, we found a crack of 800 mm and a hole of 20 mm. 😱
But no worries, our dedicated survey team responded quickly and expertly, providing advice to manage the situation and prevent further damage.
Additionally, at the request of our clients, our claims and recovery team has been tasked with closely monitoring statutory limitations and undertaking further recovery steps. Our team - acting on behalf of the charterer - successfully managed to deflect the cargo owner’s claim, redirecting it to the barge owner.
This experience underscores the importance of being alert and ready to respond to the unpredictable elements of maritime transport!
Sound advice is based on years of training, hard work, and passion, as well as familiarity with legislation and precedent and sound consideration. Leave your contact info and let us contact you.
