clause of this charter, Charterers do not warrant the safety of any place to which they order the Vessel and shall be under no liability in respect thereof except for loss or damage caused by their failure to exercise due diligence as aforesaid.
Subject as above, the Vessel shall be loaded and discharged at any places as Charterers may direct. 

  

	 	(c)	Owners warrant that the Vessel is compatible with the Primary Terminals listed in Appendix A for berthing, unberthing, loading and discharging LNG cargo without
modification to the Vessel. In the event that such modification to the Vessel becomes necessary as a result of changes in international regulations or standards and/or are required by the Vessel’s classification society or flag state and in the
case Charterers need compatibility with such specific LNG Terminal, the cost of such modification shall be for Owners’ account, and the Vessel shall be off-hire for the time required to effect such modifications unless this can be achieved
without affecting the performance of the Vessel under this charter. [For the avoidance of doubt such above stated compatibility shall not mean light terminal specific equipment requirements such as additional, and/or long mooring tails, etc. Such
additional equipment shall be for Charterers account].

	 	(g)	The Master shall provide on On-Hire and Off-Hire Certificate containing the ROB numbers for LNG, HFO, gas oil and diesel upon both Delivery and Redelivery of the
Vessel. 

  

	 	(h)	Owners or Charterers may choose to use an independent surveyor to verify ROB quantities and qualities at their own cost, however, in any dispute, the surveyor numbers
shall prevail. 

 (i) As soon as practically possible after receiving notice of Redelivery from Charterers, Owner
shall notify Charterer with Owner’s required bunker quantity to be onboard at Redelivery which shall be agreed by Charterer, such agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld.

	 	(i)	from signing Bills of Lading in accordance with the directions of Charterers or their agents, to the extent that the terms of such Bills of Lading supplied by
Charterer’s terminals fail to conform to the requirements of this charter, provided, however, that no further indemnity beyond that expressed in this Clause 14 or elsewhere in this Charter shall be implied against Charterers;


  

	 	(ii)	from any irregularities in papers supplied by Charterers or their agents. 

  


	(b)	If Charterers by telex, facsimile or other form of written communication that specifically refers to this Clause request Owners to discharge a quantity of cargo either
without Bills of Lading and/or at a discharge place other than that named in a Bill of Lading and/or that is different from the Bill of Lading quantity, then Owners shall discharge such cargo in accordance with Charterers’ instructions in
consideration of receiving the following indemnity, which shall be deemed to be given by Charterers on each and every such occasion and which is limited in value to 200% of the CIF value of the cargo carried on board:

instruction as aforesaid, Charterers shall provide on demand such bail or other security as may be required to prevent such arrest or detention or to secure the release of such Vessel or property
and Charterers shall indemnify Owners in respect of any loss, damage or expenses caused by such arrest or detention whether or not same may be justified. 



 

	 	(iv)	Charterers shall, if called upon to do so at any time while such cargo is in Charterers’ possession, custody or control, redeliver the same to Owners.


  

	 	(v)	As soon as all original Bills of Lading for the above cargo which name as discharge port the place where delivery actually occurred shall have arrived and/or come into
Charterers’ possession, Charterers shall produce and deliver the same to Owners whereupon Charterers liability hereunder shall cease. 

 Provided however, if Charterers have not received all such original Bills of Lading by 24.00 hours on the day 36 calendar months after the date of discharge, that this indemnity shall terminate at that
time unless before that time Charterers have received from Owners written notice that: 
 aaa) Some person is making a claim in
connection with Owners delivering cargo pursuant to Charterers’ request or, 
 bbb) Legal proceedings have been commenced
against Owners and/or carriers and/or Charterers and/or any of their respective servants or agents and/or the Vessel for the same reason. 
 When Charterers have received such a notice, then this indemnity shall continue in force until such claim or legal proceedings are settled. Termination of this indemnity shall not prejudice any legal
rights a party may have outside this indemnity. 
  

	 	(vi)	Owners shall promptly notify Charterers if any person (other than a person to whom Charterers ordered cargo to be delivered) claims to be entitled to such cargo and/or
if the Vessel or any other property belonging to Owners is arrested by reason of any such discharge of cargo. 

  

	 	(vii)	This indemnity shall be governed and construed in accordance with English law and each and any dispute arising out of or in connection with this indemnity shall be
subject to the jurisdiction of the High Court of Justice of England.

Owners shall in any event communicate the result of their investigations to Charterers as soon as possible. 
  

	16.	LNG Retention/Supply for Operational Purposes 

  

	a)	Unless Charterers stipulate otherwise, Owners shall retain on board the Vessel following completion of discharge sufficient LNG Heel (which will be agreed with

	b)	***** shall provide and pay for LNG required for cooling the Vessel’s cargo tanks and other handling systems to the temperatures necessary to commence loading only
in the following circumstances: 

  

	 	(i)	in the event that the quantity of LNG Heel retained on board pursuant to Clause 16 (a) is not sufficient to enable the Vessel to arrive at the next loading port in
a cold and ready to load condition unless such insufficiency is the result of an act or omission on the part of Owners or fault of the Vessel; 

  

	 	(ii)	when LNG is required by reason of: 

 (aa) strikes, quarantine restrictions, seizure under legal process, restraint of labour, none of which arise in connection with the Vessel or crew; 

(bb) an act of God, act of war, lock outs, riots, civil commotions, restraint of princes, rulers or people; 

 

	 	(iii)	when LNG is required by reason of any Restricted Period as defined in Appendix C Article 2 (e) (i) to (vi), or by reason of Charterers changing the SAT, or by
reason of Charterers ordering the Vessel to steam at any speed other than the Service Speed; 

  

	 	(iv)	upon return of the Vessel to the first load port after any lay-up ordered by Charterers pursuant to Clause 34, after any underwater cleaning ordered under Appendix C
Article 11 (a), or after the Vessel has been withdrawn from service at the request or convenience of Charterers as a result of which the Vessel has been warmed up and/or gas freed; 


 

	 	(v)	where the LNG is required and caused by Charterers’ breach of this Charter. 


  
 Page 19 of 83









 Private and Confidential 

 

	(c)	***** shall pay for LNG required for cooling the Vessel’s cargo tanks at the LNG Price, in all other circumstances, including, but not limited to:


  

	 	(i)	following periods of off-hire; 

  

	 	(ii)	following requisition under Clause 35; 

  

	 	(iii)	where the LNG is required and caused by Owners’ breach of this Charter. 

 Quantities required for gas up and cool down shall be in accordance to the cool down tables that shall be provided by Owners to Charterers upon request. 

In all cases where Owners are required to pay for LNG required for cooling hereunder, the LNG shall nevertheless be supplied by Charterers
who shall be entitled to deduct the cost from the next payment of hire due to Owners at the LNG Price. 
  

	17.	Pilots and Tugs 

 Owners hereby indemnify
Charterers, their servants and agents against all losses, claims, responsibilities and liabilities arising in any way whatsoever from the employment of pilots or tugboats, who although employed by Charterers shall be deemed to be the servants of and
in the service of Owners and under their instructions (even if such pilots or tugboat personnel are in fact the servants of Charterers their agents or any affiliated company); provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity shall not exceed the
amount to which Owners would have been entitled to limit their liability if they had themselves employed such pilots or tugboats. 
  

	18.	Super-Numeraries 

 Charterers may send up
to two representatives in the Vessel’s available accommodation upon any voyage made under this charter, Owners providing provisions and all requisites as supplied to officers, except alcohol.

 Additionally Owners and Charterers may assign or novate this charter to any
of their affiliates who have comparable creditworthiness and competence, with the benefit of any guarantees if applicable, subject to the approval of the other party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. 

For the avoidance of doubt, Owners may not novate or assign the Vessel to a non affiliate. 

 

	20.	Substitution 

 Prior to the charter
period, Owners shall have, subject always to Charterers’ consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, the right, prior to the charter period, on reasonable notice, to substitute the LNG vessel CLEAN POWER (“Substitute Vessel”)
provided (a) the Substitute Vessel has no material impact on the Charterers’ loading and/or discharge schedule as notified to Owners; (b) the Substitute Vessel’s capacity, speed and performance is equal to, or exceeds, the
Vessel’s warranties herein; and (c) that any substitution will be scheduled without any loss of time to Charterers (collectively the “Substitution Requirements”). 
 During the charter period, Owners shall also have the right to substitute into the Charter the Substitute Vessel, subject to the Substitution Requirements being met and the Vessel being out of service
and/or unavailable 
  

	21.	Final Voyage 

 If when a payment of hire
is due hereunder Charterers reasonably expect to redeliver the Vessel before the next payment of hire would fall due, the hire to be paid shall be assessed on Charterers reasonable estimate of the time necessary to complete Charterers’
programme up to redelivery, and from which estimate Charterers may deduct amounts due or reasonably expected to become due for: 
  

	(a)	disbursements on Owners behalf or charges for Owners account pursuant to any provision hereof, and 


 

	(b)	bunkers and LNG Heel on board at redelivery pursuant to Clause 5. 

 Promptly, and in any event not later than 30 days after redelivery any overpayment shall be refunded by Owners or any underpayment made good by Charterers. 

Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 7, if at the time this charter would otherwise terminate in accordance with Clause 4 the Vessel is on a ballast
voyage to a port of redelivery or is upon a laden voyage, Charterers shall continue to have the use of the Vessel at the same rate and conditions as stand herein for as long as necessary to complete such ballast voyage, or to complete such laden
voyage and return to a port of redelivery as provided by this charter, as the case may be. However, if Charterer instructs 

  
 Page 21 of 83









 Private and Confidential 

 
 
the Vessel to prosecute a voyage or deviate to an alternative port which can be reasonably foreseen to extend the voyage beyond the Charter Period, Owner may elect to reject such instruction.

  

	22.	Loss of Vessel 

 Should the Vessel be
lost, this charter shall terminate and hire shall cease at noon on the day of her loss; should the Vessel be a constructive total loss, this charter shall terminate and hire shall cease at noon on the day on which the Vessel’s underwriters
agree that the Vessel is a constructive total loss; should the Vessel be missing, this charter shall terminate and hire shall cease at noon on the day on which she was last heard of. Any hire paid in advance and not earned shall be returned to
Charterers and Owners shall reimburse Charterers for the value of the estimated quantity of bunkers on board at the time of termination, at the price paid by Charterers at the last bunkering port. 

 

	23.	Off-hire 

  

	(a)	On each and every occasion that there is loss of time (whether by way of interruption in the Vessel’s service or, from reduction in the Vessel’s performance,
or in any other manner): 

  

	 	(i)	due to deficiency of personnel or stores; repairs; gas-freeing for repairs; time in and waiting to enter dry-dock for repairs; breakdown (whether partial or total) of
machinery, boilers or other parts of the Vessel or her equipment (including without limitation tank coatings); overhaul, maintenance or survey; collision, stranding, accident or damage to the Vessel; or any other cause whatsoever preventing the
efficient working of the Vessel; and such loss continues for more than three consecutive hours (if resulting from interruption in the Vessel’s service) or cumulates to more than three hours (if resulting from partial loss of service); or


  

	 	(ii)	due to industrial action, refusal to sail, breach of orders or neglect of duty on the part of the master, officers or crew; or 


 

	 	(iii)	for the purpose of obtaining medical advice or treatment for or landing any sick or injured person (other than a Charterers’ representative carried under Clause 18
hereof) or for the purpose of landing the body of any person (other than a Charterers’ representative), and such loss continues for more than three consecutive hours; or 


 

	 	(iv)	due to any delay in quarantine arising from the master, officers or crew having had communication with the shore at any infected area without the written consent or
instructions of Charterers or their agents, or to any detention by customs or other authorities caused by smuggling or other infraction of local law on the part of the master, officers, or crew; or 


  
 Page 22 of 83









 Private and Confidential 

 

	 	(v)	due to detention of the Vessel by authorities at home or abroad attributable to legal action against or breach of regulations by the Vessel, the Vessel’s owners,
or Owners (unless brought about by the act or neglect of Charterers); or 

  

	 	(vi)	due to pre-docking and repair procedure including warming, gas freeing and inerting; or 


 

	 	(vii)	due to scheduled dry-docking and maintenance, maintaining, overhauling, repairing or dry-docking the Vessel and submitting her for survey; waiting for any of the
aforesaid purposes; proceeding to or from, and whilst at, any port or place for any of the aforesaid purposes; or 

  

	 	(viii)	due to post-docking or repair procedure including inerting, gassing and cooling in excess of that undertaken for normal loading; or 


 

	 	(x)	due to any other circumstances where the Vessel is off-hire under this charter; and 


 

	 	(xi)	due to attack and /or seizure by pirates. 

 then without prejudice to Charterers’ rights under Clause 3 or to any other rights of Charterers hereunder, or otherwise, the Vessel shall be off-hire from the commencement of such loss of time until
she is again ready and in an efficient state to resume her service from a position not less favourable to Charterers than that at which such loss of time commenced; provided, however, that any service given or distance made good by the Vessel whilst
off-hire shall be taken into account in assessing the amount to be deducted from hire. 
  

	(b)	If the Vessel fails to proceed at any Guaranteed Speed (as defined in Appendix C Article 2 (a) (iv)) pursuant to Clause 28 and Appendix C, and such failure arises
wholly or partly from any of the causes set out in Clause 23(a) above, then the following provisions shall apply: 

  

	 	(i)	if the Vessel is unable to maintain a speed of at least 85% of the Guaranteed Speed under Clause 28 in wind and sea state not exceeding Beaufort force 5, Charterers
shall have the option to place the Vessel off-hire but any distance made good by the Vessel whilst off-hire shall be taken into account in accordance with Clause 23(a); 


 

	 	(ii)	except where Charterers have placed the Vessel off-hire pursuant to Clause 23(b)(i), failure of the Vessel to proceed at any Guaranteed Speed shall be dealt with under
Clause 28 and Appendix C and the Vessel will not be off-hire under Clause 23. 


  
 Page 23 of 83









 Private and Confidential 

 

	(c)	Further and without prejudice to the foregoing, in the event of the Vessel deviating (which expression includes without limitation putting back, or putting into any
port other than that to which she is bound under the instructions of Charterers) for any cause or purpose mentioned in Clause 23 (a), the Vessel shall be off-hire from the commencement of such deviation until the time when she is again ready and in
an efficient state to resume her service from a position not less favourable to Charterers than that at which the deviation commenced, provided, however, that any service given or distance made good by the Vessel whilst so off-hire shall be taken
into account in assessing the amount to be deducted from hire. If the Vessel, for any cause or purpose mentioned in Clause 23 (a), puts into any port other than the port to which she is bound on the instructions of Charterers, the port charges,
pilotage and other expenses at such port shall be borne by Owners. Should the Vessel be driven into any port or anchorage by stress of weather hire shall continue to be due and payable during any time lost thereby. 


 

	(d)	If the Vessel’s flag state becomes engaged in hostilities, and Charterers in consequence of such hostilities find it commercially impracticable to employ the
Vessel and have given Owners written notice thereof then from the date of receipt by Owners of such notice until the termination of such commercial impracticability the Vessel shall be off-hire and Owners shall have the right to employ the Vessel on
their own account. 

  

	(e)	Time during which the Vessel is off-hire under this charter shall count as part of the charter period except where Charterers declare their option to add off-hire
periods under Clause 4 (b). 

  

	(f)	All references to “time” in this charter party shall be references to local time except where otherwise stated. 


 

	(g)	(i) If as a consequence of any cause or purpose mentioned in this Clause 23 or in Clause 16 (c) except for first load after drydocking and except when Vessel
follows Charterers instructions, the Vessel presents for loading with tank temperatures other than that which would otherwise allow bulk loading to commence within 1/2 (half) an hour after cooling of the loading arms, any time lost as a consequence
thereof, including without limitation any time lost in additional cooling of tanks prior to loading shall count as off-hire and the cost of any LNG supplied for such additional cooling shall be paid for by Owners at the LNG Price.


  

	 	(ii)	If any LNG is lost as Boil-Off during periods of off-hire, excluding during events of attack and / or seizure by pirates, Owners shall reimburse Charterers for the LNG
lost at the LNG Price. 


  
 Page 24 of 83









 Private and Confidential 

 
 Where accurate measurement of LNG lost as Boil-Off during any
such off-hire period is impossible for whatever reason, the LNG lost as Boil-Off shall be assumed to have occurred at a constant rate equal to that obtained by measurement between official gaugings of the cargo in question in accordance with
Appendix C Article 8 (b). Where, due to the off-hire occurring during a ballast passage, all LNG Heel is lost as Boil-Off prior to the Vessel next commencing to load, such Boil-Off shall be deemed to have occurred at a constant rate equal to that
which occurred during the Vessel’s last previous ballast voyage. 
  

	 	(h)	If the Cargo Capacity of the Vessel is reduced for reasons directly attributable to Owner not exercising operational due-diligence, Charterers shall have the option of
putting the Vessel off-hire or using the Vessel, such option to be declared within 5 business days after Charterers has been informed about reduction in Cargo Capacity, in which case hire shall be reduced pro rata to the reduction in the
Vessel’s Cargo Capacity from the commencement of loading at the loading port until the Vessel is again ready to load at the next loading port without such reduction in capacity. 


 

	 	(i)	The Vessel shall additionally be off-hire as provided in this Clause 23 whenever there is loss of time: 


 

	 	i)	as a result of a boycott arising in connection with the business of Owners, the terms or conditions of employment of Owners’ servants, or employment, trades, or
cargoes of the Vessel other than under this Charter; 

  

	 	ii)	due to restraint or interference in the Vessel’s operation by any governmental authority in connection with the ownership, registration, or obligations of Owners
or the Vessel, or stowaways, or in connection with smuggling or other prohibited activities, unless such restraint or interference involves a cargo carried under this Charter, or Charterers themselves, or the shippers or receivers of such a cargo;
or 

  

	 	iii)	due to strikes, labour boycotts or any other discrimination/difficulties against the Vessel because of previous trade and/or the ownership and/or flag and/or officers
and crew and/or officers and crews’ employment conditions; 

 and all losses, damages and expenses directly
incurred thereby (including bunkers consumed) shall be for Owners’ account. 
  

	(j)	 In the event that the Vessel is off-hire for any reason other than in connection with periodical dry-docking pursuant to Clause 25 for any period in
excess of ***** consecutive days or exceeding 90 days in any period of 365 days, Charterers shall have the option to terminate this charter by giving notice in writing with effect from any date stated in such notice provided that the Vessel is free

effective. This Clause 23(j) is without prejudice to any other rights or obligations of Owners or Charterers under this charter. For the purposes of this Clause 23(j), in the event of partial
loss of service, the period of off-hire shall be the total period during which the Vessel is not fully efficient rather than the resulting loss of time. 



 

	24.	Ship to Ship Transfers and FPSO/FSRU Cargo Operations 

  

	a)	Subject to the provisions of Clause 24 (b), Owners shall allow a transhipment of the cargo to another ship or floating storage re-gasification unit (FSRU) or loading
from floating production storage and offloading unit (FPSO) to be carried out via fixed hard arm cargo transfer facilities, provided that a suitably documented formalised risk assessment is carried out, identifying potential hazards, probability and
consequences and all risks identified can be mitigated adequately to the complete technical and operational satisfaction of Owners. 

  

	b)	Such cargo operation, if deemed acceptable by Owner, shall be carried out in accordance with the recommendations set out in the latest ICS/OCIMF Ship-to-Ship Transfer
Guide (Liquefied Gases) and SIGTTO’s “Considerations for Planning a Ship-to-Ship Transfer of LNG”, as amended from time to time. Owners shall permit, at Charterers’ expense, personnel nominated by Charterers to attend any pre
operation risk assessment and to attend on board to assist in the transhipment operation although such operation shall always be the responsibility of Owners. All additional equipment and services required for a Ship to Ship Transfer and FPSO/FSRU
Cargo operation shall be supplied and paid by Charterers. Owners shall not bare any additional costs (including additional insurance) as a consequence of a Ship to Ship Transfer and FPSO/FSRU Cargo operation. 


 

	25.	Periodical Dry-docking 

  

	(a)	Owners shall dry-dock the Vessel at least twice in any five year period for the purposes of maintaining the Vessel’s underwater area and anti-fouling coating
system and to effect overhaul, scheduled maintenance, other necessary repairs, and re-certification, so that the Vessel is fit in every way for service under this charter. Provided that Owners can demonstrate that a performing five year under water
anti-fouling coating system has been applied to the hull and obtain classification society approval for intermediate dockings / maintenance periods to be carried out afloat then Charterers will accept the same. A letter from the underwater
anti-fouling coating system manufacturer clearly stating that the coating system applied will last for 5 years under normal operational service shall be provided to the Charterer.

 No dry-docking shall be undertaken by Owners for the first 8
months of this Charter unless in an emergency or by agreement with Charterers. 
  

	(b)	Owners shall give Charterers at least 6 months’ notice of any intended non-emergency dry-docking, together with the reasons for such dry-docking. Such notice shall
include the name and location of the yard. 

  

	(c)	In the event of dry-docking, the Vessel shall be off-hire from the time she is in a gas free condition and arriving/passing at a) Singapore or b) Gibraltar or c) equal
distance basis a) or b) from last discharge port, whichever is closer to Owners nomination according to Clause 24 b). On completion of dry-docking, the Vessel will be on-hire again when she is in every way ready to resume Charterers’ service at
dropping outward pilot from the dry-dock in a gas free condition. For the purpose of resuming “on-hire” after completion of the dry-docking the Vessel shall not be further away from Gibraltar or Singapore than Gibraltar or Singapore
respectively. If the Vessel has dry-docked further away from Gibraltar or Singapore than Gibraltar or Singapore respectively, then the Vessel shall go on-hire when she is in a position not less favourable to Charterers than such.


  

	(d)	All dry-dock expenses and expenses of preparing the Vessel for dry-dock shall be for Owners’ account. Any natural gas vapour lost in gas freeing for the purpose of
dry-docking shall be for Charterers’ account provided that during the last discharge prior to dry-docking Owners shall use their reasonable endeavours to pump out the maximum amount of cargo. 


 

	(e)	Vessel will be off-hire for the gas-up operation only at the first load port after dry-dock or in-water-dock. All gas/LNG used for the gas up and cool down shall be at
Charterers account. 

  

	(f)	Provided that Charterers have been previously notified and agreed to the period in advance, Charterers agree to provide the Owner with a preventative maintenance window
or windows that shall not exceed ***** during each six month period when the Vessel remains continuously on-hire. The following maintenance procedures shall be permitted during this window:

performance is equal to, or exceeds, the Vessel’s warranties. 
 (iv) Charterers may elect at its sole discretion and cost to carry
out further investigation of the secondary barrier containment system. If additional secondary barrier defects are uncovered, then Charterers shall have such defects repaired in accordance with classification society and GTT procedures. All costs
and time associated with Charterers further investigation and repairs are solely for Charterers account. Specifically, all work will be supervised by GTT and carried out by an approved GTT contractor in accordance with the classification
society’s requirements. While such repairs are being performed, Charterers shall have the right to have its technical representative, with relevant experience of SBT testing and repairing GTT MkIII containment systems which shall be
approved by Owners, not to be unreasonably withheld, on site at all times witnessing the work in conjunction with Owners’ representatives. Although all related costs of such work shall be for Charterers’ account, Charterers does not
under any circumstances warrant the quality of these repairs nor assume any liability for the repairs or the post-repair condition of the Vessel.

dangerous, impossible or prohibited for the Vessel to reach or enter, or to load or discharge cargo at, any place to which the Vessel has been ordered pursuant to this charter (a “place of
peril”), then Charterers or their agents shall be immediately notified in writing or by radio messages, and Charterers shall thereupon have the right to order the cargo, or such part of it as may be affected, to be loaded or discharged, as the
case may be, at any other place within the trading limits of this charter (provided such other place is not itself a place of peril). If any place of discharge is or becomes a place of peril, and no orders have been received from Charterers or their
agents within 48 hours after dispatch of such messages, then Owners shall be at liberty to discharge the cargo or such part of it as may be affected at any place suitable for the discharge of LNG which they or the master may in their or his
discretion select within the trading limits of this charter and such discharge shall be deemed to be due fulfilment of Owners obligations under this charter so far as cargo so discharged is concerned. 



 

	(c)	The Vessel shall have liberty to comply with any directions or recommendations as to departure, arrival, routes, ports of call, stoppages, destinations, zones, waters,
delivery or in any other wise whatsoever given by the government of the state under whose flag the Vessel sails or any other government or local authority or by any person or body acting or purporting to act as or with the authority of any such
government or local authority including any de facto government or local authority or by any person or body acting or purporting to act as or with the authority of any such government or local authority or by any committee or person having under the
terms of the war risks insurance on the Vessel the right to give any such directions or recommendations. If by reason of or in compliance with any such directions or recommendations anything is done or is not done, such shall not be deemed a
deviation. If by reason of or in compliance with any such direction or recommendation the Vessel does not proceed to any place of discharge to which she has been ordered pursuant to this charter, the Vessel may proceed to any place which the master
or Owners in his or their discretion select and there discharge the cargo or such part of it as may be affected. Such discharge shall be deemed to be due fulfilment of Owners’ obligations under this charter so far as cargo so discharged is
concerned. 

 Charterers shall procure that all Bills of Lading issued under this charter shall contain the Chamber
of Shipping War Risks Clause 1952.

 General average
contributions shall be payable according to York/Antwerp Rules, 1994, as amended from time to time, and shall be adjusted in London in accordance with English law and practice but should adjustment be made in accordance with the law and practice of
the United States of America, the following position shall apply: 
 “In the event of accident, danger, damage or disaster before or after
the commencement of the voyage, resulting from any cause whatsoever, whether due to negligence or not, for which, or for the consequence of which, the carrier is not responsible by statute, contract or otherwise, the cargo, shippers, consignees or
owners of the cargo shall contribute with the carrier in general average to the payment of any sacrifices, losses or expenses of a general average nature that may be made or incurred and shall pay salvage and special charges incurred in respect of
the cargo.” 
 “If a salving ship is owned or operated by the carrier, salvage shall be paid for as fully as if the said salving ship
or ships belonged to strangers. Such deposit as the carrier or his agents may deem sufficient to cover the estimated contribution of the cargo and any salvage and special charges thereon shall, if required, be made by the cargo, shippers, consignees
or owners of the cargo to the carrier before delivery.” 
 Charterers shall procure that all Bills of Lading issued under this charter
shall contain a provision in the foregoing terms, to be applicable where adjustment of general average is made in accordance with the laws and practice of the United States of America.

 Definitions and Instructions 

HSSE 
 Lost Time Injury (LTI)

 A disabling occupational injury or illness that results in a person being unfit for work on any day beyond the day of the incident.
“Any day” includes rest days, weekend days, leave days, public holidays or days after ceasing employment. 
 Exposure hours

 The number of officers and crew, multiplied by 24 multiplied by the number of days in the month.

 Medical Treatment Cases (MTC) 

Cases that are not LTIs or restricted work day cases but are more severe than requiring simple first aid treatment. Includes treatment of injuries
administered by physicians and registered professional personnel. Medical treatment does not include first aid treatment even though provided by a physician or registered professional personnel. 

A medical treatment case is defined as one in which: 
  

	 	•	 	 Treatment is carried out by a physician or licensed medical personnel (or would normally have been carried out under the supervision of a doctor)



  

	 	•	 	 There is permanent impairment of bodily functions (i.e. normal use of senses, limbs, etc.) 



 

	 	•	 	 There is damage to the physical structure of a non-superficial nature (e.g. fractures) 



 

	 	•	 	 There are complications requiring follow up medical treatment 



 

	 	•	 	 There was loss of consciousness in the work place. This is a recordable condition and should be included with medical treatment cases.



 Restricted Work Case (RWC) 
 Any work-related injury other than a fatality or lost workday case which results in a person being unfit for full performance of the regular job on any day after the occupational injury. Work performed
might be: 
  

	 	•	 	 an assignment to a temporary job; 


  

	 	•	 	 part-time work at the regular job; 


  

	 	•	 	 continuation full-time in the regular job but not performing all usual duties. 



Where no meaningful restricted work is being performed, the incident should be recorded as a lost time injury (LTI). 

Reportable Incident 
 Any incident
associated with a BG related asset that results or had the potential to result (near miss) in injury to personnel, occupational related illness, damage to the asset, environment or company’s reputation, production loss, process control failure,
security related breach, or the creation of a hazardous or unsafe condition 
 FAC (First Aid Cases) – any one time treatment and
subsequent observation or minor injury such as scratches, cuts, burns and splinters etc, which do not ordinarily require medical care. Such treatments and observations are considered first aid even though provided by a physician or registered
professional personnel. 
 Near Miss 
 Any incident which could have resulted in injury to persons or damage to plant or equipment or harm to the environment, or any activity, which if allowed to continue, could have the potential to cause an
incident. 
 Pollution management 
 General information – state total cargo discharged, distance steamed in nautical miles, total number of bunker operations for the month and total bunkers lifted for the month for each vessel.

 Fuel consumption – state total consumptions for each vessel. 

Note, state which machinery has consumed MDO or MGO, e.g. incinerator

 Environmental impact 

Only to be completed for any vessel which has a refrigerant loss, LNG venting or an oil spill as per the below definitions: 

Refrigerant gas consumption – any piece of equipment that has been ‘topped up’ with refrigerant gas or had additional gas added
after maintenance or had gas added due to a failure in the machinery or piping should be classed as consumed unless gas has been recovered and is expected to be re-used/recycled. 
 LNG venting – Actual amount of controlled vapour releases (i.e. controlled venting) shall be reported. All uncontrolled vapour releases of an estimated quantity greater than or
equal to 1.0 standard cubic metre shall be reported as an incident. 
 Oil spill - Oil Spills: All oil spills with the potential to harm
the environment and where the amount released is 0.5 litres or more (whether released into a containment system, on deck, or in the water) shall be reported as an incident. All oil spills with the potential to harm the environment of less than 0.5
litres and contained on the vessel shall be reported as a near miss. Oil spills that occur inside machinery spaces with no potential to harm the environment shall be treated as part of an equipment failure or related to the creation of a hazardous
or unsafe condition and reported in accordance with the definition of a Reportable Incident above. 
 LNG spill - All LNG spills of 0.5
litres or more shall be reported as an incident. LNG spills of less than 0.5 litres in the loading manifold or other vessel areas (where the mild steel deck is protected by a stainless steel drip tray, deck or other material resistant to cryogenic
temperatures) do not need to be reported. All LNG spills of less than 0.5 litres, where LNG comes in direct contact with non-cryogenic steel but where no damage to the steel occurs, shall be reported as a near miss.

Clause 26(a) and (b) as applicable (the “Service Speed”). 

  

	(b)	Charterers may order the Vessel to steam at the Service Speed or at any lesser average speed but not less than the Minimum Speed as set out in Clause 26 (c) and
not at a greater average speed, except with Owners’ consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. For the avoidance of doubt, it is agreed that Owners may decline orders to steam at any lesser average speed than the Minimum Speed or at any
greater average speed than the Service Speed for operational reasons.

	2.	Timeliness 

  

	(a)	Prior to each voyage Charterers may, subject to Article 1(b), instruct the Vessel to proceed so as to arrive at the pilot boarding station at each port at a given date
and time (the “Scheduled Arrival Time” or “SAT”). Provided however: 

  

	 	(i)	In the event that Charterers fail to provide a SAT to Owners the SAT shall be deemed to be the estimated arrival time of the Vessel assuming the Vessel steams at the
Service Speed by the shortest safe route to the named port measured from pilot station to pilot station (a “Sea Passage”) (or the route specified by Charterers, if different) from the time Charterers instruct the Vessel to proceed.


  

	 	(ii)	The SAT shall in any event not be earlier than the estimated arrival time calculated in accordance with Article 2(a)(i). 


 

	 	(iii)	Subject to Article 1(b), Charterers may amend the SAT from time to time during or prior to each voyage to accommodate changes in circumstances concerning the voyage
(the “Amended SAT”). 

  

	 	(iv)	The speed at which the Vessel needs to steam in order to meet the SAT or the Amended SAT or any permissible speed ordered by the Charterers shall be a “Guaranteed
Speed”. 

  

	(b)	Charterers shall compare the actual time of arrival of the Vessel at the pilot station at each port with the SAT save that if the SAT was amended solely for reasons not
attributable to any failure in performance by the Vessel, then such comparison shall be made with the Amended SAT. 

  

	(c)	If the Vessel arrives at the pilot station at the arrival port not later than three (3) hours after the SAT or Amended SAT, where applicable, the Vessel shall be
deemed to have arrived “On Time”. If the Vessel arrives at the pilot station more than three (3) hours after the SAT, or Amended SAT where applicable, the Vessel shall be deemed to have arrived “Late”.


  

	(d)	Subject to Article 2(e) and (f), Charterers shall be entitled to make a deduction from hire in respect of any period by which the Vessel arrives Late.


  

	(e)	Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Article 2(f), Charterers shall not be entitled to make any deduction from hire if the Vessel arrives Late to the extent
that such late arrival is caused by one or more of the following during the voyage: 

  

	 	(i)	the incidence of bad weather, being any day in which the Vessel has to proceed in wind force in excess of Beaufort Force 5 for more than 12 (twelve) hours noon to noon,
or 

  

	 	(ii)	poor visibility, or 


  
 Page 62 of 83









 Private and Confidential 

 

	 	(iii)	congested waters, or 

  

	 	(iv)	alterations in speed or course to avoid areas of bad weather, or 

  

	 	(v)	any period spent at a waiting area following arrival, or 

  

	 	(vi)	the saving of life or (with Charterers’ consent) property, (Article 2(e)(i)(ii)(iii)(iv) and (v) being known as “Restricted Periods”), or


  

	 	(vii)	any period when the Vessel is off-hire at sea on any individual voyage. The master shall record in his daily noon report the time lost in the previous 24 hours due to
any of the matters referred to in this Article 2(e). 

  

	(f)	If the Vessel arrives Late the following calculation shall be made to assess the period in respect of which Charterers shall be entitled to deduct hire. The speed of
the Vessel shall be calculated over the Sea Passage excluding all Restricted Periods (the “Achieved Speed”). If the Achieved Speed equals or exceeds the Guaranteed Speed Owners shall be deemed to have met the speed warranties. If the
Achieved Speed is less than the Guaranteed Speed Charterers shall apply the Achieved Speed to the total Sea Passage and the time at which the Vessel would have arrived if steaming at the Achieved Speed shall be the Deemed Arrival Time. Charterers
shall be entitled to deduct hire to the extent to which the Deemed Arrival Time exceeds the SAT by more than three hours. 

  

	(g)	The relationship between this Article 2 and Clause 22 shall be as follows: 


 

	 	(i)	Periods of off-hire under Clause 22 shall be excluded for all purposes from calculations under this Article 2. 


 

	 	(ii)	Article 2 shall apply to deal with lateness to which Clause 22 does not apply pursuant to Clause 22 (b). 


 

	3.	Guaranteed Daily Fuel Consumption 

  

	(a)	Owners guarantee that subject to the other provisions of Appendix C, the maximum daily fuel consumption of the Vessel for all purposes shall not exceed the quantities
tabulated in Clause 26(e) and, where applicable shall be prorated between the speeds shown. 

  

	(b)	The average speed in knots on any Voyage (as defined in Article 4) shall be calculated by reference to the observed distance steamed and the duration of the Voyage, but
excluding from the calculation of average speed the duration of all off-hire periods and distance covered in such periods and excluding the distance covered during any deviation which is not an off-hire period because the Vessel arrives On Time.

	4.	Definitions for Fuel Consumption 

  

	(a)	In this Appendix C: 

  

	 	(i)	“EOP” means the time the Vessel records End of Passage on arrival after any voyage. 


 

	 	(ii)	“FAOP” means the time the Vessel proceeds Full Away On Passage from her departure point on a voyage. 


 

	 	(iii)	“fuel” refers collectively to its two components, fuel oil and Boil-Off, measured in tonnes of Fuel Oil Equivalent, while “fuel oil” refers only to
the oil component of the fuel. 

  

	(b)	For the purpose of fuel consumption calculations a voyage shall, where applicable, be divided into separate segments (each a “Voyage”). A Voyage shall be
deemed to have started either: 

  

	 	(i)	at FAOP or 

  

	 	(ii)	immediately after an off-hire period, or 

  

	 	(iii)	at the time the Vessel alters speed to comply with an amended SAT or otherwise pursuant to Charterers’ orders as the case may be. 


 

	(c)	A Voyage shall be deemed to have ended either: 

  

	 	(i)	at EOP, or 

  

	 	(ii)	immediately before an off-hire period, or 

  

	 	(iii)	at the time the Vessel alters speed to comply with an amended SAT or otherwise pursuant to Charterers’ orders as the case may be. 


 

	5.	Basis of Calculation for Fuel Consumption 

  

	(a)	 For each Voyage the guaranteed fuel consumption shall be calculated by multiplying the maximum daily consumption as determined pursuant to Article 3 by
the duration of the Voyage calculated on the assumption that the Vessel steamed at the Guaranteed Speed. In calculating both the guaranteed fuel consumption and the actual fuel consumption Restricted Periods pursuant to Article 2(e) shall be
excluded. Subject as hereinafter provided, there shall be a saving of fuel for that Voyage equal to the amount by which the guaranteed fuel consumption exceeds the actual fuel consumption and an excess consumption for




  
 Page 64 of 83









 Private and Confidential 

 

	 	 
that Voyage equal to the amount by which the actual fuel consumption exceeds the guaranteed fuel consumption. Such saving or excess shall be adjusted to take into account the Restricted Periods
by dividing such saving or excess by the number of miles over which the fuel consumption has been calculated and multiplying by the same number of miles plus the miles steamed during the Restricted Periods in order to establish the total saving or
excess in fuel consumption for the Voyage. 


  

	(b)	If on any Voyage the Vessel has to steam faster than the Service Speed or slower than the Minimum Speed pursuant to Charterers’ orders, or in order to achieve the
SAT (provided this is not attributable to any failure of performance by the Vessel), the Vessel shall be deemed to have complied with the fuel consumption guarantees for the duration of such Voyage. 


 

	(c)	Owners’ warranties relating to speed and fuel consumption shall not apply to the period between the end of one Voyage and the start of the next Voyage as described
in Article 4. 

  

	(d)	As soon as practicable after receipt of the necessary voyage returns, Charterers shall furnish Owners with their calculations determining fuel consumption on each
Voyage. 

  

	(e)	At the conclusion of the charter period or annually (whichever occurs first) (the “Performance Period”), the quantities of excess fuel used and the quantities
of fuel saved on all voyages in the Performance Period shall each be added up. The total of fuel saved for the Performance Period shall then be subtracted from the total of excess fuel used for the Performance Period and if the balance is positive
Charterers shall deduct from hire due under Clause 11 an amount calculated by multiplying the net excess quantity of fuel consumed for the Performance Period by the weighted average price paid by the Charterers for fuel oil for the Vessel over the
Performance Period in question. If the balance is zero or negative, Owners shall be deemed to have complied with their Fuel consumption obligations for the Performance Period. 


 

	6.	Actual Fuel Consumption on a Voyage 

  

	(a)	The actual fuel consumption on a Voyage shall, subject to Article 6(b), be the sum of, 


 

	 	(i)	the fuel oil consumed during the Voyage (expressed in tonnes ) and excluding any fuel oil used in any off-hire period on that voyage; and 


 

	 	(ii)	the fuel equivalent of the total volume of cargo lost as Boil-Off during the Voyage (expressed in tonnes of Fuel Oil Equivalent) excluding any Boil-Off in any off-hire
period on that voyage and excluding any Boil-Off in excess of guaranteed maximum Boil-Off under the provisions of Article 8. 


  
 Page 65 of 83









 Private and Confidential 

 

	(b)	For the purpose of this Article 6 the Fuel Oil Equivalent of the LNG lost as Boil-Off which is available as fuel during the voyage shall be assumed to be the total
volumetric loss of the cargo, measured in cubic meters, as determined from the difference between gaugings at the loading and discharging ports (in accordance with Article 9), pro rated for the difference between the on hire voyage and gauging times
and multiplied by the Fuel Oil Equivalent factor set out in Clause 26(f). 

  

	7.	Guaranteed Maximum Boil-Off 

  

	(a)	Owners guarantee that Boil-Off shall not exceed: 

  

	 	(i)	the maximum laden Boil-Off percentage stated in Clause 26(g); and 

  

	 	(ii)	the maximum ballast Boil-Off percentage stated in Clause 26(h). 

  

	(b)	If Charterers give orders that require the temperature or vapour pressure of a cargo to fall during a laden sea passage and that order is complied with, the Boil-Off
guarantee shall be deemed to have been complied with on that sea passage. 

  

	8.	Boil-Off Calculations 

  

	(a)	The Boil-Off excess or saving on any sea passage shall be calculated by comparing the guaranteed Boil-Off for the sea passage (i.e. the daily guaranteed maximum
Boil-Off multiplied by the time between gaugings) with the actual Boil-Off. 

  

	(b)	The actual amount of Boil-Off on a sea passage shall be calculated by subtracting the volume of LNG contained in the Vessel’s tanks at gauging after the sea
passage from the volume therein at gauging before the sea passage. 

  

	(c)	If the Vessel was off-hire during any sea passage the excess or saving shall be pro rated in the same proportion as the time on hire is to the total time between
gaugings. 

  

	(d)	At the conclusion of the charter period or annually (whichever occurs first) (the “Performance Period”), the quantities of excess Boil-Off and the quantities
of Boil-Off saved on all trips in the Performance Period shall each be added up. The total Boil-Off saved for any such period shall then be subtracted from the total excess Boil-Off in the same period and if the balance is positive Charterers may
deduct from hire due under Clause 11 an amount calculated by multiplying the said balance by the LNG Price or, if more than one LNG Price is applicable during the Performance Period, the arithmetical average of such LNG Prices. If the balance is
zero or negative, then Owners shall be deemed to have complied with this Clause for the Performance Period.

	9.	Spray Cooling, Forced Vaporisation and use of Boil-Off 

  

	(a)	If on any sea passage, Charterers order the Vessel to force vaporise LNG to for whatever reason and the order is complied with, the Boil-Off guarantee shall be deemed
to have been complied with on that sea passage. 

  

	(b)	The master shall notify Charterers if he is of the opinion that the Vessel will not, on arrival at the loading port, be able to commence bulk loading within half an
hour after cooling of the loading arms even with spray cooling on the ballast sea passage. 

  

	(c)	Without prejudice to any of Owners’ or Charterers’ obligations under this Article 9; if Owners intend to order spray cooling at any time during the charter
period, Owners agree, if requested by Charterers, to discuss the reasons and technical basis for spray cooling 

  

	(d)	Subject to the provisions of this charter, Owners shall have free use of Boil-Off. Owners shall exercise due diligence to minimise the use of the steam dump system
during the normal operation of the vessel. At no time during the charter period, (except for safety reasons) shall the Vessel use the vent system as a primary means of controlling the cargo tank pressures. Any such safety related venting, or venting
caused by any other reason, shall immediately be reported to Charterers (as required in Appendix B) with full explanation as to why venting was required and duration and quantity of venting. 


 

	10.	Provisions for Gauging 

  

	(a)	The time at which any volume of LNG is determined is referred to in this charter as a gauging time. 


 

	(b)	In relation to any laden sea passage the cargo volume on loading at the start of the laden sea passage shall be the volume of LNG contained in the Vessel’s cargo
tanks measured promptly after the closing of the Vessel’s manifold vapour return valve in the loading port and on discharge at the end of the laden sea passage shall be the volume of LNG contained in the Vessel’s cargo tanks measured
promptly before the opening of the Vessel’s manifold vapour return valve in the discharge port. 

  

	(c)	In relation to any ballast sea passage the LNG heel volume after discharge (i.e. at the start of the ballast sea passage) shall be the volume of LNG contained in the
Vessel’s cargo tanks measured promptly after the closing of the manifold vapour return valve in the discharge port and the LNG heel volume on loading (i.e. at the end of the ballast sea passage) shall be the volume of LNG contained in the
Vessel’s cargo tanks measured promptly before the opening of the Vessel’s manifold vapour return valve in the loading port.

	11.	Underwater Cleaning / Waiting at Anchorage 

  

	(a)	Charterers may request Owners at any time to arrange for the cleaning afloat of the Vessels’ underwater hull and propeller whereupon Owners shall arrange for the
said cleaning to take place provided that: 

  

	 	(i)	the Vessel is free of cargo but may be under vapour if permitted by the port authority and; 


 

	 	(ii)	in Owners’ opinion such cleaning will not damage in any way the Vessel’s underwater hull coatings and; 


 

	 	(iii)	such cleaning afloat can be carried out safely at a place approved by Owners and where the water is sufficiently clear for an underwater survey to be made of
cleanliness of the Vessel’s hull and propeller immediately thereafter; 

  

	(b)	The cost of such underwater hull and propeller cleaning and underwater survey referred to in Article 11 (a) shall be for Charterers’ account and the Vessel
shall remain on hire for their duration. If the underwater survey shows that both the Vessel’s underwater hull and propeller are clean, a successful cleaning shall be deemed to have occurred. 


 

	(c)	If Charterers order the Vessel to wait at anchorage or in lay up for more than 20 days on any one occasion or more than 60 days comprising periods of not less than 5
days each in any period of 6 months, and, if as a result of such waiting or lay up Owners have good reason to believe that the performance of the Vessel or her fuel consumption is affected and speed and/or fuel warranties can no longer be met
because of fouling then Owners shall so state by written notice to Charterers and if Charterers request, shall carry out an underwater inspection at Charterers’ expense to see if there is fouling of the hull and/or propeller.


 To prevent hull fouling from marine growth during charter period, wherever practically possible, Charterers are
required to steam the Vessel for a period of 24 hours, every 7 days after anchoring, at a speed between 14 and 15 knots. 
  

	(d)	If as a result of the aforesaid inspection, Owners consider that there is evidence of such fouling then if Charterers so request, Owners shall arrange and carry out
cleaning afloat of the Vessel’s underwater hull and propeller provided that the provisions of Article 11 (a)(i), (ii) and (iii) apply. 

  

	(e)	The cost of such underwater hull and propeller cleaning and underwater survey referred to in Article 11 (d) shall be for Charterers’ account and the Vessel
shall remain on hire for their duration. If the underwater survey shows that both the Vessel’s underwater hull and propeller are clean, a successful cleaning shall be deemed to have occurred. 


  
 Page 68 of 83









 Private and Confidential 

 

	(f)	If any inspection pursuant to Article 11 (c) reveals the presence of hull or propeller fouling, or if Charterers decline to request an inspection following receipt
of a notice from Owners under Article 11 (c), then from the time Owners give written notice that performance is affected by fouling, Owners shall be deemed to have complied with the speed and fuel warranties until the completion of the next periodic
dry-docking or successful cleaning, whichever occurs sooner. 

  

	12.	Interpretation 

  

	(a)	In this Appendix C, “Article” shall mean an Article of this Appendix, and “Clause” shall mean a Clause of the charter. 


 

	(b)	In the event of any conflict between the charter and Appendix C, Appendix C shall prevail. 


 

	13.	Weather Limits for Performance Warranties 


Speed, boil-off and fuel consumption warranties defined in this Appendix are not valid under weather conditions in which the Vessel has to proceed in wind
force in excess of Beaufort Force 5 for more than 12 (twelve) hours noon to noon. 
 For the purposes of calculating claims, the Wind Force
reported in the Master’s noon report shall be used. Charterers may employ the services of a reputable weather reporting company at their own cost. In any dispute, the weather reporting company numbers shall prevail.
