13. Container seal broken, cargo stolen

th
This is to inform you that today, on June 17 , 1992 at 10.00 my Second Mate inspecting
the cargo in Hold 3 found that container No SU/MMF 123121354 under B/L 5 had been
broached and part of the cargo of woollen shawls was missing. It is evidently a case of
pilferage by the stevedores working in the hold, as prior to commencement of discharging
cargo survey had been
carried out and all the seals on the containers had been found intact.

A copy of the survey report is enclosed herewith. On my orders the container has been
detained on board for a damage survey and re-tallying the cargo,

I kindly ask you to invite an independent surveyor for drawing up the report. I give you a
formal notice hereby that I hold you fully responsible for all losses arising there from and
ask you to take necessary action.
