To: ( Consignee)
Dear Sirs,
Re. Damage to 150 C/S Oranges B/L No.184
Ex. M.V. “Hua Xing” Yokohama/Vancouver
Your letter Ref. BK-425 dated 25th February has been duly received. We learn with much regret that 150 out of 2000 cases of oranges under B/L No.184 carried by us were damaged on the voyage from Yokohama to Vancouver.
The parcel/consignment in question was stowed in No.2 lower hold and tweendeck which, prior to loading, were thoroughly examined by the Lloyd’s Surveyor at Yokohama. The coolness and ventilation in the compartments came up fully to the standards of transit, which was to the entire satisfaction of the Surveyor and shipper.
During the voyage, we also paid special attention to the effective ventilation of the said cargo. From the above, we may conclude that the alleged damage to oranges must have been caused by their inherent nature and this is a matter beyond our control. Therefore, we are not to be held responsible for this damage.
In addition, we would take this opportunity to bring it to your notice that the recurrence of such damage will be inevitable in the future unless the shipper improves the packing thereof.
We trust we shall have your full understanding in this connection.
Yours faithfully,
Master of M.V. “Hua Xing”
