Assisting with the placement of Club Letters of Guarantee throughout Africa is one of our primary functions. This is necessary in cases when security is sought, such as when cargo interests claim damage or loss to their cargo or when local port authorities seek compensation for pollution or physical damage to port facilities.
Preventing the arrest or detention of vessels upon completion of activities requires our quick 24-hour availability, swift response, and clear contact with clubs and their members.
The origin of the demand determines the form, text, and amount of these letters of guarantee for cargo damage. Some cargo interests are firm about their own content, competence, and language in these documents, while others are willing to compromise and consider the requests of owners and clubs, particularly on matters of relevant law and the bank guarantee issue.
In West African ports in particular, the amount requested and the substance of the undertaking are typically not negotiable when a letter of guarantee is needed by the local port authority.
