货物受损调查更新 - [船名] - [航次号]

Dear Ms. Chai,

Good day!

Further to the subject matter, we would like to inform you that our surveyor, along with the sub-charterer's surveyor Mr. Shao, TENCO's surveyor Mr. Li, and the technician from the repair team Mr. Mao, reattended the vessel at 10:20 AM on August 20th to inspect the damage inside the cargo hold together with the crew.

Upon inspection, we noted that most of the damage observed on-site was consistent with the damage shown in the LOP, with the exception of several bent sounding pipes. However, the bent sounding pipes were recorded in the on-hire report for the next voyage. Due to the significant amount of time that has passed since the incident, the damaged area has developed serious rust. Based on our findings and the documents provided by the master, we suspect that all the damage observed on-site occurred during the voyage chartered by Cargill.

Additionally, we observed that some damage mentioned in the LOP, such as the handrail of the ladders, had been repaired.

According to the crew, the shipowner did not provide detailed repair requirements and only requested the crew to check the damage to the protection bar and ladders. The necessary materials for repairing the steps and protection bar have been supplied on board, as estimated by the crew.

The ETD of the vessel is scheduled for 1:00 AM on August 20th, 2023, with an ETA in Yantai in the morning of the same day. The repair team is expected to attend on board for repairs in the afternoon of August 20th. Our surveyor, Mr. Suntao, from Qingdao port will attend at Yantai port for geographical convenience.

If you have any further instructions, please feel free to contact us.

Best regards,

[Your Name]
