Re : Delay in discharging due to high back pressure .
Dear Sirs , This is to protest against the fact that my vessel , although maintaining a constant pressure of 8,0 kg/sqcm at ships rail , as per C/P , is unable to exercise her maximum discharging capability , as indicated by my letter dated ..23/03/95.............and it being restricted by high back pressure attributed to the following reasons : Limited number of hoses..1 X 12 .............and their small bore . Considerable length of the shore pipeline and the raised location of the shore tanks . Limited number of hoses and their small bore , combined with the considerable pipe line distance and high location of shore tanks . Following above I hold you fuly responsible for any direct or indirect damage , delays and other consequences including but not limited to demurrage to be incurred . Kindly acknowledge receipt of this letter and oblige accordingly . Yours truly , IOANNIS FILIPPOU MASTER
