Receiver Claims Rust Damages Cargo, But Lacks Supporting Evidence

Please kindly note that the surveyor attended the joint survey at the receiver's factory on August 4. During the on-site inspection, it was observed that the cargoes selected by the receiver exhibited varying degrees of rust marks on their surfaces. The receiver expressed concern about the detrimental effects of moisture on the cargoes, emphasizing that it significantly diminishes their longevity and stability. Additionally, the receiver stated that the presence of rust marks on the cargo surfaces renders them non-functional in accordance with the factory's internal regulations. As a result, the receiver intends to temporarily seal these cargoes and arrange for their disposal at a designated facility at a later time. However, the exact schedule for disposal has not yet been determined. It is important to note that the receiver has not provided any relevant technical specifications or conducted performance experiments to support their claim regarding the shortened lifespan and compromised stability of the cargoes. Without disassembling the cargoes and obtaining relevant data, it remains uncertain whether the internal components have been affected.
