Dear Sir,

At 1420 L.T. 01/09/15, I brought this to the attention of your , via the ship’s agent, and requested that floating («Yokohama» type) fenders be provided, as is normally for such transhipment operations. In of these, I requested that the fendering arrangements be much improved on all barges, to be used for this operation. I was later advised that there were no floating fenders available. The receivers were advised that I would operations as necessary, should subsequent fendering arrangements or weather deem it necessary.
of the above, I hereby hold you responsible for any damage that may be , as a direct result of the poor fendering arrangements. I also the rights of my Owners and Charterers to refer to this matter at some later date and take any actions, or make any , as they may necessary.
