SHIFTING ORDER CONTRARY TO CUSTOMS.With reference to your order to shift our vessel from Berth A-1 North to Berth A-3 north today at 19.00 which was delivered to me at 10.00 hours today, I consulted our Agent, Mr. John Phillips. He told me that according to port customs, any ship engaged in line service staying in the port less than a week can not be shifted more than once. As this would be the second shifting for 6 days, I consider this to be a case of clear discrimination of my vessel, and ask you to cancel your order.
19. PACKING SOILED / STAINED. This is to inform you that today, on September 11, 2008, after discharging of the part cargo of gunny bales from Hold 3 had begun, my Cargo Officer found 8 bales in the top layer of the bales in N3 lower hold badly stained. The damage was caused by the stevedores' walking on top of the gunny bales in dirty shoes during discharging operations. I kindly ask you to take necessary action to prevent further damage to the cargo. Please note that the ship will not be responsible for any damage caused by the stevedores.
CONTAINER SEAL BROKEN, CARGO STOLEN. This is to inform you that today, on June 17th, 2012 at 10.00 my Second Mate inspecting the cargo in Hold 3 found that container SU/MMF 123245673 under B/L 5 had been broached and part of cargo of woolen shawls was missing. It is evidently a case of pilferage by the stevedores working in the hold, as prior to commencement of discharging a 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 retallying 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 therefrom and ask you to take necessary action.

26.Dear Sirs, I have to draw your attention to the fact that as a result of negligent and careless handling of the cargo by stevedores some damage was caused to the cargo during discharging. Contrary to the correct practice of discharging from corners of a hold, bags had been stowed on slings, in corners and then dragged along the floor all the way through until lifted. Most bags turned out to be considerably torn and dirted, their contents partly spilled. In view of the above I have to attribute all losses incurred hereupon to the stevedoring company of which please take due note. Yours faithfully,
27. Dear Sirs,
I have to draw your attention to the fact that owing to the negligent and careless handling of the cargo by stevedores much damage has been caused to the goods. Due to improper slining several boxes dropped from the slings and were totally broken. As a result of inadmissible use of hooks a number of bags of cargo were badly torn and considerable leakage and loss ensued. In the circumstances I have to make an official statement to the effect that my m/v has brought the cargo in good order and condition and that I shall bear no responsibility for any claims in connection with the above mentioned damage which was caused to the goods in the course of such inefficient discharging. At the same time I hold the Stevedoring Company responsible for the damage caused and for all the consequences which may arise therefrom, of which I kindly request you to advise the said Stevedoring Company, Consignees and all concerned. Yours faithfully,

Under present circumstances please arrange rechecking of the said cargo inside the warehouse and also during the delivery of it to the consignees. Please inform me and the shipowner of the result of rechecking and accordingly rectify the outturn-report. Yours faithfully,
