Cargo investigation prevents potential mishap

摘要

The Britannia Pl club reports that one of its members was recently involved in a heated dispute for refusing to load iron ore fines at New Mangalore port. Concerned about the danger from high moisture levels, the member asked for the assistance of the managers and local surveyors were instructed to assist. Heavy rain at that time of year meant that the cargo - which was stockpiled outdoors - was surrounded by floodwater to a depth of 40cm. Surveyors appointed by Britannia's correspondent began a thorough sampling in accordance with the BC Code.
