Within the cargo claims category, bagged rice claims in regions such as West Africa have been the most prevalent type of cargo claims encountered by the American Club's Membership. While the American Club has pioneered innovative actions such as the use of the anti-suit injunction mechanism to significantly reduce and thwart the ability of cargo interests to present fictitious and exaggerated claims involving bagged rice and other cargoes, preventative measures are still the most useful tools to prevent against these potential exposures. Therefore, the American Club has developed the document Transport Guidance for Bagged Rice (PDF) 1.35MB , that draws upon the knowledge and experience which we have derived from our own claims, from those who are engaged in the chartering of ships for the carriage of bagged rice as well as from surveyors whose professional experience on behalf of P&I insurers, owners and charterers alike is of particular relevance. As a further supplement to our Guidance, we present here relevant animations, photographs and other information on the best practices for the carriage of bagged rice. Hardcopies of Transport Guidance for Bagged Rice can be obtained from the Club Managers free of charge by contacting Dr. William Moore, Senior Vice President – Loss Prevention, at william.moore@american-club.com.
