MARCO POLO arrived at Rosario on 20th Oct.2019/1920LT for her loading of Soybeanmeal in Bulk On 27th Oct 2019 at 0900LT, Customs, Local Agent, and Surveyors Officers (02-SENASA and 01-Intertek Surveyors) boarded her for formalities and cargo hold inspection The protecting boarding agent and Surveyors, attended by Ship’s Officers and crews, climbed into cargo holds for inspection During the course of hold inspection at Rosario, the Surveyors unreasonably try to find any small object of cargo hold to make trouble, they used hand sharp tools to scratch tank top the holds No.2, 4, (These tank tops are bare-steel metal without painting coat and already de-rusted, hose washed, wiped, and was dry, clean without any flaking of) but inspectors said it is not very clean and residue of last cargo which is clear kind of harassment reasoning of unscrupulous Hold Inspectors They alleged a little black and yellow colour and they said that this is from previous cargo residue Other holds they nothing to say but immediately failed holds Although intermediate INTERTEK accepted cargo holds condition at this port Basing on our daily hold cleaning report and pictures that were sent to you, the cargo holds were diligently and properly prepared, holds were clean, dry, odorless, free from rust scale, free from insects and free from residue of previous cargoes and ready for grain loading Obviously the causes of hold failure were neither because of ship’s rust scales nor because of flaking paint but because of dishonest hold inspection Furthermore, as indicated in many of our previous messages and daily hold cleaning report sent to all parties concerned that my crew have done all our best eforts to comply with Charterer’s Hold Cleaning instruction with all available means, resources readily onboard despite of the adverse weather experienced during hold cleaning The failure of the holds lies with Surveyor’s discernment and was beyond Master’s control We refuse this fabricated and imaginary cause of hold failure Cargo residues and Rust Scale were highlighted as the cause of hold failure as you are well aware that it is customary in this port that the Master is forced, pressured and harassed to give in to the DEMANDS of the CARGO HOLD SURVEYORS that a certain FEE MUST be given to them in order to pass the inspection, with accompanying threat(veiled or
