In view of the above I consider you claim groundless.
Damage to container
This is to inform you that today, on the 14th of July during the morning shift, while discharging the cargo from my vessel, due to rough handling of the containers and/or inefficiency of the stevedores discharging the vessel, 1 container was struck against the coamings of Hatch 4. As a result of this, the container was dented, and due to the impact, the cargo inside the container sustained considerable damage. An appropriate Statement of Facts showing details of damage and signed by the Foreman of the Stevedoring Company is enclosed herewith. Please note that we shall reject any possible claims for this damage as under the terms of the Stevedoring Agreement the Stevedoring Company undertakes to refund damages. I am writing on this subject to the said Stevedoring Company too.
