The Swedish Club has partnered with CWA International to develop its new Cargo Advice series, says a press release published on their website.
Cargo claims
The Swedish Club has partnered with industry-leading cargo consultants, CWA International, to develop its new Cargo Advice series.
The series provides expert advice and information on the carriage of a wide range of cargoes that are frequently subject to claims.
About the new cargo advice
The new Cargo Advice gives operators a unique, in-depth insight into the proper handling and carriage of these cargoes, with detailed advice on the basic characteristics of each cargo type and the measures to be taken during each stage of carriage.
Preventative actions
The series highlights the preventative actions which must be taken to minimize the risks associated with the carriage, both in terms of safety and ensuring delivery of the cargo in proper condition.
Carriage of refrigerated cargoes
The Cargo Advice series includes advice on the carriage of refrigerated cargoes in reefer containers, bagged rice, soya beans, hazardous chemicals, vegetable oils, petroleum, coal, and steel.
Pressures faced by operators
In addition, reflecting the pressures faced by operators for rapid turnaround at the port, the series also features advice on proper procedures for cargo hold cleaning.
Suggestions for a wide range of commodities
CWA’s specialists have extensive experience dealing with the problems encountered with a wide range of commodities including food and other agricultural products, metals, minerals, oils, gases, and chemicals.
Forewarned is forearmed
Lars Malm, Director Strategic Business Development & Client Relations at The Swedish Club says: “We are delighted to collaborate with the experts at CWA International to provide our members with the latest intelligence on the carriage of what can be problematic cargoes. Forewarned is forearmed – we see the same problems with the same cargoes in the same locations time and time again – and this new initiative gives every one of our members access to detailed loss prevention advice from industry-leading consultants.”
Improve cargo operations & reduce risk
Says James Blythe from the Food and Agricultural Commodities Department at CWA Singapore: “CWA International are very pleased to have contributed to The Swedish Club’s latest Cargo Advice series which we trust will provide members with key insights and take away messages to help them further improve their cargo operations, reduce the risk of a claim occurring and successfully defend a claim in the event that one is raised.”
