2.16.5.3 DAMAGE TO LOCK GATES AND WALLS

If lock gates are damaged to the extent that the locks cannot be operated, this may result in

  • vessels being delayed and thus exposing the Company to a claim for detention in some jurisdictions
  • pier operators claiming commercial losses due to loss of use of the pier.

    In many cases, in addition to the costs of reconstruction, compensation is claimed for consequential losses, detention and loss of use.
