Cereal tests in Yemen

The Association has recently been involved in an incident where a Member, carrying grain to Aden in the Yemen, suffered delay and a demand for a very large amount of security as a result of infestation being found in the cargo. It was a common pest almost inevitably found in cereal cargoes.

Any Members carrying cereal to the Yemen should seek to ensure there has been proper fumigation of the cargo, if necessary on board, or that the charterer will be able to pay the demurrage and /or extended hire that cold result.
