Immediately after the accident the port authority call together some engineersand technicians to go down the wharf to examine its structure and made somevideo records on the spot.Findings of survey showed that there were two cracks in the wall of thewharf, some surface cement came off the wall and one pillar was slightly damagedbecause of the sudden dash.Afterwards, the port authority claimed/demanded U.S.$ 30,000 of compensation from the shipowner for the said damage. But the master of the M.V.“A” held that “It was the sole fault of the tugboats. Because their walkie-talkies failed in communication and the tugboats could not follow thepilot's order to stop engine at once when the ship was getting alongside thewharf. Under these circumstances there was no reason for the shipowner to bearthe unfair compensation.”By now this matter has been still under negotiation and we shall keep youinformed of its development.Yours faithfully,AgentsLesson 13I.carriage of goods under charter, address commission, fixture note, charterhire, dispatch money/demurrage, tariff, Laytime Statement of Facts, for yourperusalNotice of Readiness, stipulated laydays, on the basis of mutual agreement,in accordance with/under the charter party, make reference to Time Sheet,the volume to move per vessel, free in ,out and stowed(FIOS)II.to, of, between, on, under, on, of,by, to, of, in, with, to, toIII.(1)This will serve to remind you that M.V. “China Sea” which arrived at thisth June from London, is now discharging cargo at Dock/Wharf No. 9 and port on 10will have reached the end of her stipulated laydays at 1500 hrs of this month.In accordance with the charter party dated 12th November, 19xx , demurragewill commence from that time and will be calculated at the sum of ￡ 500 perday, or pro rata for part of a day.It is expected to note that you will pay the demurrage in time if the laytimeisExtended.(2)th April has been duly received.
