Cargo Damage and Temperature Deviations Outside Carrier Responsibility

After meticulously reviewing the temperature records, we have determined that the temperature inside the container consistently remained within the acceptable range stipulated in the bill of lading throughout the entirety of the CY to CY transportation.

However, our investigation uncovered instances where the internal container temperature surpassed +20 ℃ prior to gate-in at the loading port and subsequent to gate-out at the discharging port. This crucial finding leads us to believe that any damage sustained by the goods likely transpired during these periods outside the purview of carrier responsibility.

Specifically, the timeframes before gate-in at the loading port and after gate-out at the discharging port fall under the purview of other stakeholders within the supply chain. Therefore, further investigation into potential causes of damage during these periods is warranted.
