错综复杂的进口木材索赔案

A Complicated Compensation Case Concerning the import of Wood

近日，一家木材进口商因其进口的一船俄罗斯木材发生数量短缺，向江苏太仓港码头公司提出索赔。进口木材数量出现了短缺，进口商为什么不找国外发货方索赔，而要找码头公司索赔呢？

Recently.a wood importer filed compensation claim to the Jiangsu Taicang, Quay Company on the account of quantity discrepancy, of the wood imported from-Russia. Why did the importer file compensation claim to the port company instead of complaining to foreign consignor？ When the issue occurred？
