VALUE CHAIN

TITLE OF THE GOODS

After production finished products are stored at the Producer or at a Public terminal. Commercial Purchase & Sales contracts will change the ownership how about the title of the goods, who is responsible till what point?  Purchase and Sales contracts can be based simply on INCO terms for delivery terms but often contain complex clauses, protecting the interest of the parties involved, all will be discussed.

PREPARATIONS

The Supplier of the goods must comply with all regulations, provide a Safe Berth, supply the cargo as per the commercial contract. This all should not be in contradiction with the terms of the Charterparty, these complexities are discussed.

LOADING & TRANSPORT

Transporting the product involves loading operations by Terminals, Surveyors ensuring the agreed Quality and assessment of Bill of Lading quantity. Proper and non-contradicting instructions will ensure a proper operation avoiding demurrage claims. How do we avoid unclarities?

DELIVERY OF THE GOODS

The Vessel upon completion of the voyage will deliver the goods which will take place under the supervision of the Cargo Surveyor. After completion of discharge the vessel completed her duties as agreed under the Charterparty. Cargo surveyors will assess Quantity and Quality during and after the discharge operation and report same on an online basis to their principals who will review if all is received as per the Commercial contracts, if not claims need to be issued. The whole operation will be handled in detail.

QUANTITY & QUALITY

Claims, could arise from off-specification of the product on arrival, after discharge or short delivery versus the Bill of lading quantity, who should be involved? Demurrage claims could occur, Owners might claim Charterers in turn Charterers will seek recourse with the Supplier or Receivers, how to handle the claim, which party is responsible? Which law is applicable ? these and more will be handled in detail.

COMPLEXITY
