then it should be "Statement of Facts".
At the end of the stay in port, the port agent draws up a Statement of Facts, setting out a log of events during the ship's stay in port. The Statement of Facts enables a time sheet to be drawn up and signed by the master and the shipper or receiver of the cargo. The time sheet enables laytime and therefore demurrage or despatch to be calculated.

Note from asker:
| Yes, thank you, I'm aware of what it means in everyday Italian, but given the context it appears to be some form of certificate, receipt or inspection report. |

current situation report
"Stato dei fatti" means "current situation". I am not sure this is the best solutions - perhaps some colleague will be able to say it better.
Note from asker:
| Thank you - I suspect this is some kind of formal report, though, given the capitalisation and the context. A situation report? status report? |

Statement of Facts (SOF)
Basically an important document aligned with the original Bill of Lading and Mates Receipts. Since there may be a claim for damaged cargo it is necessary to ascertain where damage was discovered (did the Master notate the Bill of Lading thus making it a claused or soiled Bill? Or was it a clean Bill? (which Master accepted). did the Master get to inspect cargo or was he able to check for damage? So, there are lots of ifs and buts in maritime law so a SOF is important if vessel will be delayed in port.
