- Vessel berthed at Berth no. 17, Umm Qasr Port at 0224 hrs on 23 FEB 2023 and surveyor met
the Master and the Chief Officer and discussed the scope of our work.
- Safety procedures have been discussed with the Master and stevedores, in order to minimize
the damage or to avoid any spillage of the torn bags and shortage whilst discharging, if any.
Stevedores and foremen were advised to avoid rough handling.
Below are the recommendations which were passed to the Master, Chief Officer and to the
Stevedores.
1. All labours must follow the PPE standard.

2. Care must be taken by the crane operators during the discharge operation.
3. The discharging of the cargo should be by “level by level’’, not just from middle of the hold
to prevent any spillage from the torn bags.
4. Prohibiting the consumption of liquids in the cargo holds.
5. Prohibiting any type of littering in the Cargo Holds.
6. Prohibiting of any exceeding of loads on the cargo nets to avoid damaging the unloaded
cargo.
Hatches were opened at 0830 hrs on 23rd FEB 2023.

The discharge operations commenced at 0555 hrs on 23rd FEB 2023
Unfortunately, improper handing followed by Stevedore, lead to huge quantity of spilled cargo.
Cargo Condition
- The ship reports indicate that at the point of Origin and during the loading process the cargo was
found to be in apparent good condition.
- During visual inspection the bags were found to be in apparent good condition
- Kraft paper had been used and spread inside the holds.
- All bags were seen to be clean, dry, undamaged, properly sewn and with a production
JAN 2023.
- Holds had been well secured during the voyage and any evidence of water ingress to the
cargo holds was not noted during our inspection at the destination port.

Torn Bags, re-bagged and Sweeping
Due to stevedore’s poor handling, a large number of bags discharged in torn condition.
On our investigation, many torn bags were spread on deck and Jetty without proper organization
and collection for re-bagging. The surveyor observed improper handling as per the notes below.
 A total of 665 torn bags were collected for re-bagging process, out of which, a number
of 452 bags we re-bagged and discharged as sound cargo, the remaining quantities of
rice were spilled out. Hence the cargo in 213 bags were lost.
 Due to the negligence of crane operator, the cargo nets slammed / hit into the hatch
coaming and/or truck sides, resulting in 19 bags being fallen into sea or torn.
 The re-bagging operation was carried out only for the cargo on deck, bags torn inside
hatches or jetty were not re-bagged.
 Under normal circumstances at Umm Qasr, the incentive for the stevedores is always to
complete discharge as soon as possible, resulting in excessive damages to bags.
