THE MASTER UNDER PRESSURE

This second video takes a closer look at the documentation associated with cargo shipment. It explains the importance of the Bill of Lading. Attention is drawn to the pressures on the Master and his crew when looking after the cargo, particularly the importance of good storage. The main part of the video explains how all parties concerned can help in defending claims by keeping records of all aspects of cargo operations and the vessel's passage - records of loading and discharging; records of conditions during the voyage - hold temperatures and weather conditions etc. Photographic or video evidence can be very helpful in resolving cargo claims in the ship's favour.
