CLAIM FOR WAKE DAMAGE REJECTED


With reference to your claim for damage to vessel allegedly caused by us by
proceeding past your vessel at an excessive speed at about 05.15 a.m. 23 rd inst. I
wish to comment as under:
1. Approaching your vessel moored at Berth 13 Camden Terminal I reduced speed
to the minimum safe maneuvering speed and this fact was duly recorded in the
ship's logbook.
2. The records in the logbook also show that your vessel had her headline and
spring forward slack.
I am sure that both facts will be confirmed by our Pilot.
As in my opinion your own lack of due care and not my allegedly excessive speed
was the cause of the damage. I reject your claim as groundless.
