Road traffic incidents were the next most frequent cause , and , in contrast to other factors , almost 50 percent of such incidents occurred in the Americas , a region which currently accounts for quite a small proportion of tank container movements . TT Club has previously drawn attention to the issue of pitting damage , as the number of such claims is on the rise . Many of the claims identified involved damage that was reparable , but there were still several where the damage was so severe that the unit had to be written off , Yarwood said . He added there were few identifiable trends as to which cargoes were involved , but those that appeared most frequently were fatty acids and emulsifiers . The main takeaway , he explained , is that it is not just hazardous cargoes than can cause pitting damage , and while there is no obvious cause behind the increase in claims , it would be prudent for operators to be mindful of this risk exposure going into 2022 . “ Operators should appreciate the ongoing supply chain challenges ,” he said , “ prioritising tanks for cleaning once empty / dirty , considering inspections to see whether pickling or passivation is required , and to continue due diligence checks on the shipper and the cargo to be shipped .” |
