Gdynia Port Authorities

I, Captain  Kostecki Tadeusz  the Master of M/T ŚLĘŻĄ, acting on behalrf of  my  Owners,hereby reject  any responsibility for all damages of the berth at the Port of Gdynia on 26-06-00. consequent to my vessel impact during the process of mooring.

After having moored we inspected all damages and the condition of the quay wich revealed the berth not being well prepared to absorb the normal impact of my vessel.

Our findings indicate the following:

The fenders being in bad condition “loosely chained”

The berth is not in good state “some wooden planks missing,section of berth not protected”

The mooring bollards are of week state “ rust discovered”

Above contributed to all damages.

I enclose the statement of the local P and I Correspondent showing how the refered state of quay contributed to damages in question.

Yours faithfully

Master
