Further to our Bulletin 403 the Association has been recently advised that the problems with fender & berth damage claims in Egypt still exist.
Recently one of our Members was involved in a Fender damage claim at El-Dekheila. The subject vessel called at El-Dekheila for discharging. She berthed and commenced discharging operations without problems. Close to the end of discharging the vessel’s Master was notified by the agent that the Port Authorities claim that the vessel damaged two of the fenders and a fine had been imposed. The vessel was not allowed to sail before the fine was paid.

El Dekheila港碰垫和泊位受损索赔 – 埃及
参协会第403号防损公告。协会知悉，亚历山大新港El Dekheila港区的碰垫和泊位受损索赔案件仍时有发生。
近日，某会员船舶在El Dekheila港涉入碰垫受损索赔案件。涉案船舶停靠El Dekheila港进行卸货。船舶靠泊后开始卸货，期间未出现任何意外。但卸货即将结束时，船长通过代理收到港方通知，称涉案船舶损坏了泊位的两个碰垫，并对船舶处以罚款。船舶未交罚款不得离港。
