ADRIATICA GRAECA at Callao on 1 June, 2016

and Matarani - Discharging wheat

Dear George,
Whilst waiting to hear back from Correspondents on below, please see a link to a circular from 2012 which
you may want to review
http://www.ukpandi.com/loss-prevention/article/843-09-12-attempted-drug-smuggling-peru-5503/
QUOTE
843 - 09/12 - Attempted Drug Smuggling - Peru
The Club has received a summary of the problems facing Members who operate out of Peru concerning
the practices of drug smugglers.
Quote
From our experience, the problems with illegal shipments of drug in Peru were always related to illegal use
of containers by illegal shippers (which, mixes sound goods with illegal drugs) or by the stevedores before
the shipment on board the vessel.
However, last July 2012, a vessel was moored alongside the port of Callao, where a crewmember found
several bags near the crane of the vessel. Local authorities were called on board and seized 63 kilograms of
cocaine.
The vessel was detained in port during the subsequent investigation before being released some fifteen
days later. The Master, First Officer and one crewman were taken into custody pending criminal
investigations. Also, personnel of the port terminal and port agents were detained for questioning pending
criminal investigations.
It is understood that the suspect were removed from the original hiding position and hidden elsewhere on
the vessel prior to the police arriving at the scene. The Police having carried out a search of the vessel
1

recovered the drugs. It is thought that the Master failure to secure these packages at the place where they
were found until the arrival of the authorities that has resulted in his arrest
Unquote
The view of the Club's correspondent is that Members vessels should exercise extreme caution in Peruvian
ports against people attempting to gain access to the ship. Full and proper ISPS procedures should be
followed.
Additionally and as a result of this case if any suspicious packages are found at any time then the vessel
should immediately inform the authorities via radio, keeping a record of the conversation, they should also
lodge a formal letter of protest addressed to the Port Authority. As evidence, pictures should be taken of
the packages in the place where they are found and the packages left in situ, under custody until the
authorities arrive.

Dear Efcharis,
Subject vessel is expected to call Callao & afterwards Matarani, within the first week of June, to discharge
about 70,500MT of wheat (3 x
grades) loaded at Vancouver, Canada.
Members would appreciate to know whether the Association has experienced issues with discharging such
cargo at the aforementioned ports, necessitating the appointment of a cargo surveyor.
Please share any relevant information you may have on the matter.

Kind regards,
George Gkikas
