Disputing Temperature Records and Insurance Liability for Cargo Damage

Accuracy of Temperature Records: The accuracy of the provided temperature records is questionable as they were not recorded by the container's built-in recorder. These records are influenced by various external factors. We will conduct a thorough evaluation upon receiving the container's own records.

Unclear Drawings and Record Selection: The drawings in the report lack clarity, hindering our ability to identify the referenced points. It's important to clarify that the mentioned records were not selected by us, but rather pointed out by your inspectors.

Abnormal Temperatures After Consignee Control: While we acknowledge the abnormal temperatures on the 61st and 62nd days, it's crucial to note that the container had already arrived at the warehouse by then, placing the goods under the consignee's control. Moreover, these two days had the highest recorded temperatures. Logically, any potential temperature-related damage would have occurred during this period, after our responsibility ended.

Conditions for Insurance Liability Not Met: Based on the aforementioned points, we firmly believe that the conditions required to establish insurance liability, as determined by your inspectors, have not been met.
