| Award 1106

Award N° 1106 – Rejection of cargo found polluted by the Captain. The charterer cannot require a clean bill of lading because the level of impurities contained in the wheat cargo is found lower than the stipulations of the contract of sale. In order to issue such a clean bill of lading, the Captain is entitled to call for the polluted cargo to be replaced by sound cargo. The Captain must present this request as quickly as possible in order not to increase the prejudice.
