Enron Mail |
Andrew,
This will confirm our telephone conference of yesterday. Again, I will be your new contact at Enron in the above-referenced case. You advised that Exmar, the disponent owner of the M/V SANTA CLARA, has made a demurrage claim against EGLI, who fixed the charter with Exmar, of approximately $165,000, arising out of the loading of a cargo of propane on the ship in March of 1991. You also advised that EGLI has a counterclaim for recovery of deadfreight in the amount of approximately $150,000. This matter has reportedly been only sporadically active over the many years since the claims were made, and is now ready to be set for an arbitration date. You mentioned that Exmar's attorney had been unresponsive to your suggestion that the parties just drop their respective claims. I understand that you feel this may be due to Exmar's attorney, rather than his client. You further mentioned that you have read that some Enron entity is or has in the recent past entered into charters with Exmar. It makes no sense for Enron and Exmar to pursue this matter further, given what you have told me. My plan is to confirm that Enron has in fact a business relationship with Exmar that would allow us to go forward with a "drop hands" settlement. If you retained the publication in which you read about the recent charters, I would ask that you send it to me immediately. Since I don't yet have the file from my clients, please also send me the correct spelling of Exmar's name at your earliest convenience. By copy of this e-mail, I am asking everyone who I can think of whether they know if any Enron entity has (or has had in the recent past) a ship under charter to Exmar. If one of you can suggest other names I might check, please let me know. I would like to put this old dog out of its misery before year end if it is humanly possible to do so. Britt
