Dear Sirs
Good day.
With respect to forthcoming call at LAEM CHABANG o/a 25-Dec-16, request you to kindly advise the terminal to position the gantry cranes on the berth in such way that they are at least 30 meters away from the planned final bow and stern position of own vessel. Or the gantry cranes may be parked at the mid-ship section of the vessel.
The above is in order to prevent any contact with vessel's flare of the bow or the transom stern quarter while coming alongside.
Your understanding in the above matter will be highly appreciated.
Kindly acknowledge safe receipt of message.
