Shipping lines increasingly have shipments of low value waste products (wastepaper and scrap plastic) shipped from the US and abandoned by the cargo receivers at the discharge port. The cargo can sit idle for several months while shippers and consignees negotiate, or shipping lines take it upon themselves to try to find a new buyer for the cargo.
Reefer Claims Loss Prevention is a 10 part guide covering the stages of transit for handling reefer units. With the US in mind, the guide covers each stage from the booking phase to loading, discharging, trucking, and claims etc. By following the guide members can expect to minimise the types of problems and claims described.
