If You Could Read Between The Lines

The communications from YachtPath today contained the following:

As of today the M/V “Palembang” is currently in Corinto, Nicaragua discharging Owners Cargo. 

The delays in Corinto have been caused by a disagreement between the Shipper and the Owners regarding the method used for handling this cargo. In addition the Port has ordered the vessel back to anchorage two times due to arriving Cruise ships.

This vessel is now due to complete operations on Saturday PM at which point she will sail towards Manzanillo, Mexico.  

So what does that mean? “A disagreement between the Shipper and the Owners”? Don’t touch my junk, one crane or two, port or starboard, what could the disagreement be and why it is a last minute problem, and why does it take so long to resolve, and how does it affect my boat sitting on-deck during this whole process?

We’re resolved to the fact that we will never have answers to our questions, nor will we ever know what really is transpiring in Corinto. All we know is that we lost 8 days, so far.

Maybe the title of this post should be "Clueless in Nicaragua".
