Commercial Port, The Second Largest Port in Ukraine Neighboring Odessa Port, Where, As You May

The Ukrainian ports, especially Ilyichevsk, Odessa, and Yuzhny, are requiring independent tally counts of steel cargoes by ship representatives. Failure to appoint a tally team could result in delays to the ship. The ports have added these tally requirements to codes and contracts. The letter recommends shipowners and masters be warned about the tally requirements and appoint a tally team in advance of visiting these Ukrainian ports to avoid potential delays.

Dear Sirs,

We would like to inform you about the growing tendency observed at the Ukrainian ports - their attitude is
getting tougher in respect of the tally count requirements. Especially it concerns Ilyichevsk Sea
Commercial Port, the second largest port in Ukraine neighboring Odessa port, where, as you may
remember, in case of loading of steel cargoes the Master is not allowed to insert any remarks concerning
the cargo quantity into the cargo documents and has to accept the figures of the ports tally and sign
cleandocuments accordingly unless an independent tally team, appointed on behalf of the ship, counted
the cargo loaded and regularly countersigned tally sheets with the ports tallymen. The Masters of the
ships calling at this port would be served with a notification about this requirement and had to
acknowledge the receipt of it by signing the relevant letter.

Recently this practice - tally count of the cargo by the ships representatives has become mandatory not
only in Ilyichevsk, but also in Odessa and Yuzhny ports. It has been enacted by way of the relevant
requirements being inserted into the Code of Customs of Ilyichevsk Sea Port.

Now, in the contracts/agreements the port concluded with the ships agents it is specified that the agents
shall warn the Shipowners/Masters about this ports requirement before the vessels call at the port so that
to avoid idle stay and delay of the ship which may be caused by the ships failure to appoint a tally team for
the cargo count opportunely.

In light of the above-stated, we would like to draw your attention once again to the necessity of liaising with
the correspondents and appointment of the independent tally team for count of the steel cargoes in
advance of the vessels call to Ukrainian ports, especially ports of Ilyichevsk, Odessa and Yuzhny not only
with a view to elude shortage claims at the port of discharge, but also to avoid possible delays of the ship
caused by the failure to satisfy the ports requirements.


Sincerely yours,

Igor Cherezov,
