Tanker Shortage Checklist
08/12/2011
The cause of claims and how to avoid them during pre-loading, loading and unloading.
The UK Treasury has now confirmed that it considers that insurers/reinsurers in the EU are prohibited from providing cover in relation to shipments of crude oil or petroleum products, even where the transportation ban does not apply (because the ships and persons involved are unconnected with the EU).
A new publication from the UK P&I Club focuses on one of the major sources of cargo-related claims in the tanker sector: cargo contamination. The Club stresses that loading and discharging of a cargo is a joint operation between the crew of the tanker and the terminal staff.

Increased liabilities under OSRO contracts
01/09/2011
Last week the Club published circular 10/11 in respect of the increased liabilities that Members may potentially incur under the amended contract terms of one of the US based oil spill response organisations (OSRO). We strongly recommend all Members who might be affected to refer to this circular and check their vessel response plan arrangements.

This ports update bulletin is revised as and when new information on wet bulk terminals is received.

The UK P&I Club publishes a simple "How to monitor coal cargoes from Indonesia" checklist.
The Club has published a checklist and guide to avoiding fires when carrying Indonesian coal cargoes in bulk. It is an 'aide memoire' for the guidance of shippers, shipowners, charterers, surveyors, ships' crews and other parties involved in the loading and carriage of cargoes of coal. Self-heating incidents involving coal cargoes loaded at Indonesian ports have become increasingly frequent in recent years. The problem appears to stem from the nature of these coals, possibly exacerbated by local handling loading.
