3. The Survey

By thoroughly checking of the presented Items, I found the following:

Containers arrived and discharged at premises of warehouse of Bernina Ltd. After
Detailed inspection of boxes cargo was moved to cooling units.

Bananas Found ripped, ripening, in soft state, with dark brown ticking, Transition
from green to yellow state with soft pulp, start rotting. Considering the state of the
bananas, representatives of Bernina LTD does not want to accept complete shipment
in this condition, for them, 124 boxes should be considered as unacceptable.

From random box selections we took most of the product was in yellow condition,
from soft pulp to hard but in yellow state condition. Over boiled product found, strong
odors present upon opening of the container.

4. Cause of Damage:

Taking into the consideration all above mentioned, I came to the conclusion that
subject damages and derogation of the quality of Bananas could be attributed to
Poor quality of the product prior to loading it to container in Ecuador, also, it should
be taken into consideration that I did not have temperature readings from Data
Logger.

It can be said that damages occurred on subject shipment could be attributed to

shipper.
