 The affected cargo will be discharged at Dammam; Saudi Arabia and customers are expected to take the delivery of their cargo upon discharge.

Any storage or other arrangements, and any ancillary charges, costs and expenses involved in dealing with the cargo following discharge are for the sole account of the Merchant.
