## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING ROUTINE INSPECTION, A LITTLE PAINT FLAKE WAS DISCOVER UNDER THE REAR SPREADER BAR, FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED HEAVY INTERGRANULAR CORROSION ALL OVER THE INSIDE OF BOTH SPREADER BARS.  THERE WAS NO SIGN OF ANY KIND OF DAMAGE ON THE OUTSIDE AND THE CONDITION CAN ONLY BE DISCOVER BY EXTENSIVE INSPECTION WITH A BOROSCOPE OR BY TAPING METHOD ON THE BARS.  BOTH BARS HAS BEEN REPLACED BY USED SERVICEABLE UNITS.
