8.4.1 As per Club Circular No. 23/14 , Steel cargo pre-load surveys: An update dated August 11, 2014, the American Club has set forth requirements for the types of steel cargoes subject to the mandatory pre-load survey. This circular was issued to minimize the risk of exposure to such claims by requesting Members to appoint an experienced surveyor at the port(s) of loading and to conduct a precautionary pre-load survey in order to: (1) assist the Master in recording the apparent condition of the cargo prior to loading so that, where appropriate, Mate’s Receipts and bills of lading can be claused accurately and correctly as necessary; and (2) verify the condition of the vessel’s cargo hatch covers and other openings in way of the hold spaces. 8.4.2 When instructing a surveyor to conduct a pre-load survey, the vessel owner should consider the following, both prior to and after the loading of cargo: (1) before loading, surveyors should note the location and type of storage area provided for the cargo and the weather conditions to which the cargo has been subjected while in storage; (2) surveyors should describe the cargo packaging and any packaging defects, if any; (3) if cargo is to be loaded in very low temperatures and to be shipped to warmer climates, the surveyor should make a note of this point and record the ambient temperatures during loading (see Section 6.9.1(1)); (4) the surveyor should note any atmospheric corrosion; American Club: Transport Guidance for Steel Cargoes 80 (5) the surveyor should assist the Master and chief officer to review the cargo manifest, stowage plan, dunnage, lashing and securing as proposed by the charterer or shipper, and attend any meeting with the supercargo, chartering, shipping agent and stevedore foreman, if possible and as necessary; (6) the surveyor should assist the Master and chief officer to ensure effective communications with the port authority, supercargo, charterers, shippers and/or stevedores to address any problems as they may arise; (7) the surveyor should continuously monitor the loading of cargo; (8) the surveyor should confirm/witness that there are no defects in securing and lashing of cargo. Should defects be found, they should be brought to the attention of the vessel’s Master, the charterer and/or shipper, and supercargo for consideration and/or suitable action; and (9) should cargo be found to be damaged, the surveyor should bring the details and evidence of the damages to the attention of: (1) the Master; (2) the charterer and/or shipper; and (3) the tallyman so as to agree to accept relevantly claused Mate’s Receipt(s) and bill(s) of lading (see Sections 7.2.2.4(4) and 9.2.3); (10) silver nitrate solution testing should be performed by surveyors on the cargo prior to and during loading as shown in Figure 8.1. Particular attention should be made to testing of cargoes that are transported into the storage facilities from different locations and if transported during times of inclement weather; (11) the surveyor should inspect the Phytosanitary Certificate/International Standards For Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM) markings on the dunnage materials to be used for the cargo to ensure all is in order; (12) the surveyor should check to ensure that the vessel has the correct equipment and fittings onboard and that procedures are in place for monitoring and recording the status of the atmosphere in the cargo holds; (13) all surveyors should take numerous photographs, both wide views, and close up views, of any item of interest of the vessel’s cargo holds, hatch covers, vents and related fittings, etc. Photographs should be taken of each type of steel cargo to be loaded, including the labels and markings of each type of steel, in close up so that the wording can be read, and also in wide view so the method of securing the label to the cargo, can be seen; American Club: Transport Guidance for Steel Cargoes 81 (14) photos should be date and time stamped. For close up photos, the hold number should be written in chalk or on a small piece of paper within the photo frame, so that the location of the cargo shown in the photo can be easily identified; and (15) when photos are provided with the report, each one should contain a narrative explaining what is shown in the photo. tải về 1.97 Mb.
