Their susceptibility to pre-loading, stowage and post-discharge damage, and the difficulties of dealing with attendant claims, has been a special concern for clubs from at least the 1970s. As my colleagues Dr. Bill Moore and George Tsimis observe in their preface, the volume of finished and semi-finished steel products carried by sea has grown considerably over the years. Claims in respect of such cargoes have long represented a significant element of the American Club’s overall exposure, circumstances shared by other marine insurers. In earlier times, initiatives to deflect or mitigate losses arising from damage to steel were more rudimentary than they are today. Many of these precautionary measures – a requirement for pre-loading surveys, for proper clausing of bills of lading and so on – are still part of best practice. However, in expanding on the principle of prevention being better than cure, this Transport Guidance for Steel Cargoes seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of how to avoid claims arising from the carriage of these cargoes from a variety of related perspectives. Thanks are due to all those who have labored so diligently, and to such considerable effect, in the production of this guidance. It adds to the substantial body of loss prevention material available from the American Club as part of its overall mission to promote best industry practices. It is hoped that it will be of assistance not only to Members, and to the Club’s many other friends across the world, but also to the larger shipping industry as a valuable source of reference to all who have an interest in this important trade. tải về 1.97 Mb.
