Bulker focus: Carriage of grains and soya beans
In this guide we focus on cargo claims in relation to grains and soya beans. To be included in the statistics the claims must have generated a cost of at least USD 5,000 and have been made between 2018 and 2022.
The Club has reviewed around 200 bulk carrier claims and carried out analysis on the statistics.
The publication includes sections that provide guidance on carrying out fumigation and ventilation effectively in addition to a review of customs’ fines. We have also included a number of case studies which illustrate the importance of following loss prevention advice.
Example from the report
During the five year period of the report the most common claims were for shortage (63%) especially during discharge (68%) and these were seen most commonly in North Africa and China. About 70% of shortage claims occur due to discrepancies between the vessel’s figures and shore
figures. In this five-year period there were few claims in China until 2021, but since then we have seen a steady increase in the region. Over the entire five-year period, however, most claims were in North Africa.
