Identification Of Exceptions (G1676687): Transportation
Where applicable, all of the transportation exceptions will have been already identified during the Marine Survey, also known as the First Point of Rest Survey. This survey must be carried out immediately after the cars leave the ship in an area on the dockside. Vehicles should not be moved to a holding compound and then inspected for transportation exceptions. If for any reason vehicles cannot be inspected on the dockside and have to be moved to a compound, prior agreement must be obtained from the carrier that they will still accept liability for any transit related damage found.
Examples of transportation exceptions:
- Damage caused by physical impact, abrasion or forced entry.
- Damage or soiling of the drivers area to include seat and interior components, door inner and apertures and door trims. Obvious vandalism or abuse of the interior.
- Wheel rim damage - the rim has rotary cut or abrasion marks.
- Damage to undercarriage.
- Vehicle exterior glass surface, scratched, chipped or broken.
- Paint chips noted on driver's door rear edge or the drivers side rear door leading edge. Any paint damage or trim damage found on doors whereby the transit door seal is broken.
Undercarriage exceptions must be declared within seven workings days from receipt of the vehicle.
Water, tire, glass and exterior body fallout damage are managed risks subject to separate negotiations.
