Tanker cargo shortage claims can be expensive, and they represent a major type of claim the Club faces. Cargo shortages can also lead to customs fines in certain jurisdictions.
The bill of lading (B/L) issued at loading contains the reference figure for the quantity of cargo shipped. Confirming the accuracy of this figure, along with any intermediate changes to cargo disposition is an essential part of defending cargo shortage claims.
In the Club’s experience, a cargo shortage may be an actual physical loss of cargo or, in many cases, a ‘paper’ shortage where a difference in cargo figures manifests as an apparent loss of cargo.
Regardless of the cause of shortage, the ship is likely to be suspected and should be prepared to prove that the shortage was not because of any error or lack of care by the ship’s crew.
