North P&I Club has advised its members to be extra vigilant during loading and transport of soya beans to ensure they do not get blamed for cargoes that start ‘cooking’ at sea. The advices comes in the latest issue of its loss prevention newsletter Signals.
According to North’s loss prevention director Tony Baker, ‘We have recently experienced a number of high value claims in China associated with damage to soya beans exported from South America. The damage is caused by excessively warm or moist cargoes starting to self-heat, which leads to the cargo becoming mouldy, caked or discoloured.’

如何避免大豆自热索赔
北英协会提醒会员，在大豆装载及运输期间应保持额外的警惕，确保不会因货物在海上运输途中出现自热现象而受到指责，协会最新防损期刊Signals就这一问题提供建议。
协会防损部董事Tony Baker表示，“近期，我们遇到若干从南美出口运至中国的高额大豆货损索赔。由于过热或过湿，货物出现自热现象，导致逐渐发霉、结块或褪色”。
