[Case 9]

The "Changlong" left Shanghai port with full and complete cargo. Shortly after sailing, the 1,000 export blankets in the first cargo hold were completely destroyed by a fire caused by an aging electrical short circuit due to excessive air temperature. When the ship arrived at the port of Singapore, it was found that the tobacco and tea in the same cargo hold suffered different degrees of odor loss due to the burnt smell emitted by the burning of the wool. Among them, because the tobacco packaging is better, the taste is not very serious, after special processing, it still maintains the characteristics of tobacco, but the registration has been greatly reduced, and the price has fallen by 30%. The tea has completely lost its unique aroma and can no longer be sold as tea, but can only be treated with cheap fillings.
When the ship passed the Indian Ocean, unfortunately collided with another cargo ship, the ship was seriously damaged, the second cargo hold was broken, and a large amount of seawater entered the warehouse, and the severe shock and seawater immersion caused serious damage to the precision instruments loaded in the warehouse. In order to rescue, the captain ordered the use of flax temporary plugging loopholes, resulting in a large number of losses of flax. When the ship docked at the port of Thailand for overhaul, the ship contacted the relevant experts on the shore for consultation on the repair of precision instruments, and found that the recovery was very large and had exceeded the insured value of the cargo. In order to facilitate the repair of the ship, it is necessary to unload part of the textile cargoes in Hatch No. 3 and No. 4. Some of the cargoes were damaged by hooks during the discharge.

Answer:

are you meant to make a summary?

here's a summary of this, I hope it helps you....

Fire in the First Cargo Hold: Shortly after leaving Shanghai port, a fire broke out in the first cargo hold, resulting from an ageing electrical short circuit caused by the excessive air temperature. As a result, all 1,000 export blankets stored in the hold were completely destroyed.

Odour Loss in the Second Cargo Hold: Upon arrival at the port of Singapore, it was discovered that the tobacco and tea stored in the second cargo hold suffered odour loss due to the burnt smell emitted by the burning wool. The tobacco, having better packaging, retained its characteristics but experienced a significant reduction in quality. As a result, its registration decreased, and the price fell by 30%. The tea, on the other hand, completely lost its unique aroma, rendering it unsellable as tea and suitable only for cheap fillings.

Collision with Another Cargo Ship: While passing through the Indian Ocean, the "Changlong" collided with another cargo ship, resulting in severe damage to the vessel. The second cargo hold was broken, allowing a large amount of seawater to enter. The shock and seawater immersion caused extensive damage to the precision instruments stored in the hold.

Temporary Repairs and Loss of Flax: In order to rescue the ship, the captain ordered the use of flax as a temporary measure to plug the holes in the damaged second cargo hold. This led to a significant loss of flax resources.

Overhaul and Unloading of Textile Cargoes: Upon reaching the port of Thailand for overhaul, the ship contacted relevant experts for the repair of the precision instruments. However, it was found that the cost of recovery had exceeded the insured value of the cargo. To facilitate the repair of the ship, it was necessary to unload a portion of the textile cargo stored in Hatch No. 3 and No. 4. Unfortunately, during the discharge process, some of the cargo was damaged by hooks.

These events have resulted in significant losses of various cargoes, including blankets, tobacco, tea, flax, and some textile goods. The ship has also sustained substantial damage, requiring extensive repairs.

have nice rest of the day !
