							Full S. C. Tolls amount, without any reduction, to 
							be submitted before transiting. The agreed rebate 
							will be released Upon receiving the following 
							documents -  
							 
							Bill of lading and cargo manifest if any.  
							A statement signed by the Master and 
							Owners/Operators that the vessel made her voyage 
							without any stopping at intermediate ports for cargo 
							operations.

							stating : date of departure - Nature & Quantity of 
							cargo loaded (or in ballast) - sailing to.  
							Certificate from port authorities of destination 
							stating : Coming from - date of arrival - Nature of 
							cargo discharged (or in ballast).  
							In the event that a vessel has called at any port en 
							route, a Certificate/S.O.F. must be produced which 
							verifies that the vessel has only called for 
							bunkering/crew change purposes and no cargo 
							operations have taken place.  
							These documents should be submitted within 6 months 
							of the transit, no reduction will be granted after 
							this period.  
							 
							The calculated rebate is operative for 60 days from 
							the date of issue. If the transit does not take 
							place within this period a new application must be 
							made. The SCA will restudy the case provided that 
							the new application is received by them before the 
							ship arrives at its deviation point.  
							Note: 
							Should the vessel, for any reason, change load or 
							discharge port from those stated in the original 
							Bill of Lading or manifest, a revised calculation is 
							to be presented to the S.C.A. showing the new 
							reduction required. New documentation is to be 
							presented accordingly. 
							 
							
							General: 
							The S.C.A. calculate 2 extra days steaming via the 
							Cape for bad weather. Kindly take this into 
							consideration when making your calculations. State 
							the vessels correct speed and not the average speed, 
							which is usually calculated to take into account any 
							bad weather over the whole voyage. This will ensure 
							that the allowance in the calculation for lost time 
							due to bad weather is not made twice. 
							On receipt of the completed Rebate Request Form 
							attached, we will make a proposal to the S.C.A. 
							concerning any vessel you feel should be eligible 
							for a rebate, and negotiate on your behalf. It 
							normally takes two or three days to receive a clear 
							answer.  |
