Year: 201? Language: english Author: Mssrs. Jeroen de Haas et alli Genre: Guide Publisher: American Club Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 73 Description: Rice is the staple food for many societies around the world. Of the nearly 475 million metric tons of rice produced globally in 2013, the largest producers were China (with 30% of the total) and India (with 22%)1. However, most of the rice produced in these countries is consumed domestically. In contrast, the largest exporters of rice since 2008 have been Thailand (with about 25% of the total), Vietnam (with about 20%), India (about 16%) and the United States (at just under 10%)2. Overall, it is estimated that only 5% to 6% of global rice production is transported internationally. Nevertheless, even this figure represents a significant volume of global trade. Traditionally, rice was carried as break-bulk cargo onboard general cargo vessels. The techniques used in the carriage of such cargo included the use of permanent wooden dunnage within which spaces were designed to ensure proper ventilation. More recently, the shipment of bulk rice is by way of containerized cargo. As global demand for food has risen, now most rice shipments are made in bagged form onboard traditional bulk carriers. Therefore, the primary focus of this guidance is upon the carriage of bagged rice in bulk carriers. Cargo claims have comprised, on average, about 25% of The American Club’s total exposure. Within the cargo claims category, bagged rice claims in regions such as West Africa have been the most prevalent type of cargo claims encountered by The American Club’s Membership. While The American Club has pioneered innovative actions such as the use of the anti-suit injunction mechanism to significantly reduce and thwart the ability of cargo interests to present fictitious and exaggerated claims involving bagged rice and other cargoes, preventative measures are still the most useful tools to prevent against these potential exposures. Transport Guidance for Bagged Rice draws upon the knowledge and experience which The American Club has derived from its own claims, from those who are engaged in the operation and/or chartering of ships for the carriage of bagged rice, and from surveyors whose professional experience on behalf of P&I insurers, and from owners and charterers alike. It is our objective and hope that this guidance proves to be useful to those in the trade of bagged rice. Users are also encouraged to refer to The American Club’s website at www.american-club.com where additional pictures, animations, Member Alerts, and other relevant information can be found.
