Following the Club’s bulletin 852 concerning bagged cargo, Shortages of bagged goods – West Africa, we have detailed advice from our correspondent in Kakinada, India where all the recent problematic shipments have originated from.
Kakinada is an anchorage port therefore all cargo operations are carried out by barges manoeuvring alongside vessels waiting at anchor. Bagged cargoes are handled using rope net slings and lifted using the ocean going vessels own lifting gear.
The Club’s correspondent, being familiar with the operations of the port has reported to us the best practices to be taken to avoid shortage of cargo claims at the discharge port.

袋装货物的装载-印度卡基纳达
继发布公告852号–西非袋装货物短缺后，协会驻印度卡基纳达（近期所有涉事船舶的装货港）通讯代理又给出以下详细建议。
卡基纳达为锚泊港口，因此货物均通过驳船装载至锚泊等待的船舶。袋装货物以缆绳吊货网运送并使用远洋船舶自带升降装置完成装载。
协会通讯代理非常熟悉该港口的运作，提出了防止卸货港货物短缺索赔的最佳实践方法。
