10 2C26M30170 734 350 0889 The consignee advised us that the subject
cargo was found slightly wet/damp upon
opening the laden container. At the time of our
attendance, the cargo accepted by consignee in
sound condition.

In summary, nine (9) rolls of Duplex Board White Back were found damaged and one (1) roll
was accepted as sound condition by consignee.

The above findings were stated in our Field Survey Report which was duly signed by the
consignee. A copy of the same is attached.

We recommended the consignee to fully unpack and consume the alleged damaged rolls in
the production line and sort out the damage portion, if any, for loss mitigation.

The consignee will inform the production / segregation outcome on a later date.

The remaining one hundred and sixty-four (164) Rolls of Duplex Board White Back were
found in an apparent sound condition and accepted by consignee.

4.6 SILVER NITRATE TEST

We conducted a Silver Nitrate Test on the dried out/discoloured/rust stained area of packing
cover of cargo at random and the results revealed negative reaction indicating the absence of
Chloride.

5.0 CONSIGNEE’S INTENTION

Ms. Uraiwan advised that they have made a reservation on the cargo claim for the
consignment of Duplex Board White Back pending product process outcome.

6.0 VALUE OF AFFECTED CARGOES

According to invoice No. DPIC-221212E-1, the value of 9 rolls of alleged damaged rolls are
to be USD 3,921.92 (6.128 Mts x USD 640.00).

7.0 WEATHER REPORT

According to the Weather History Report, we noted that the mean temperature in
Kwangyang, South Korea on 25 January 2023 was Minus (-) 10ºC to Minus (-) 2ºC and the
mean temperature in Bangkok, Thailand on 3 February 2023 was Plus (+) 30ºC to Plus (+)
31ºC. A copy of the same is attached.

8.0 DEVELOPMENTS

On 27 February 2023, the insurer instructed us to close the case as the condensation
(container sweat) is considered inherent vice or nature of the subject matter insured that is
one of the General Exclusions Clause. As this shipment is FCL cargo, it is considered that the
damage occurred out of this insurance coverage period.

On 3 March 2023, we sent an email correspondence to the consignee advising that the
insurance policy is not covered due to condensation (container sweat) is considered inherent
vice or nature of the subject matter insured which is one of the General Exclusions Clause.

To date of writing this report, we have not received ant feedback from the consignee.

9.0 SURVEYOR’S COMMENTS / PROBABLE CAUSE(S) OF LOSS

9
OUR REF: JTW 015

Based on our findings and information obtained, we are of the opinion that the wet/dried out
and water stained damage as well as rust stain sustained to the Duplex Board Grey Back is
considered attributable to condensation (container sweat) during temperature variations i.e.
cold to hot climate at some stages whilst in transit prior to delivery to the consignee’s
warehouse premises.

In addition, the crumpled and torn damage sustained to Duplex Board Grey Back is
considered attributable to the same was come into contact with the other hard / heavy objects
and/or rough / improper handling of the cargoes at some stages most probably during
stuffing operation/ unstuffing from laden containers.
