Charterers shall have the right, at their expense, to appoint supervisory personnel to attend on board the Vessel, including a mooring master, to assist in such transfers of cargo. 

 

	18.	PERFORMANCE OF VESSEL - SPEED AND CONSUMPTION 

  

	 	18.1	Unless otherwise ordered by Charterers, the Vessel shall perform all voyages at the service speed stated in the Questionnaire. 


 

	 	18.2	Owners warrant that the Vessel is and shall remain capable of maintaining, throughout the Charter Period, the speeds and bunker consumptions for propulsion described in
the Questionnaire under normal working conditions and in moderate weather (which for the purpose of this Clause shall exclude any periods of winds exceeding ***). Charterers shall have the right to make a claim for deductions from
hire in respect of any time lost and any additional bunkers consumed by reason of the Vessel’s failure to maintain the warranted capability. 


 

	19.	OFF-HIRE 

  

	 	 19.1	The Vessel shall be off-hire on each and every occasion that there is a loss of time arising out of or in connection with the Vessel being unable to comply with
Charterers’ instructions (whether by way of interruption or reduction in the Vessel’s services, or in any other manner) on account of: 

  

	 	19.1.1	any damage, defect, breakdown, deficiency of or accident to the Vessel’s hull, machinery, equipment or cargo handling facilities, or maintenance thereto; or

	 	 19.2	If the Vessel deviates, unless ordered to do so by Charterers, it shall be off-hire from the commencement of such deviation until the Vessel is again ready to resume
its service from a position not less favourable to Charterers than that at which the deviation commenced. For the purposes of this Clause the term deviation shall include stopping, reducing speed, putting back or putting into any port or place other
than that to which it is bound under the instructions of Charterers for any reason whatsoever, including for maintenance, dry-docking, taking on stores or fresh water, but shall exclude deviations made to save life or property. Should the Vessel
deviate to avoid bad weather or be driven into port or anchorage by stress of weather, the Vessel shall remain on hire and all port costs thereby incurred and bunkers consumed shall be for Charterers’ account. Any service given or distance made
good by the Vessel while off-hire shall be taken into account in assessing the amount to be deducted from hire. 

  

	 	 19.3	Any time during which the Vessel is off-hire under this Charter may be added, at Charterers’ option, to the Charter Period. Such option shall be declared in
writing not less than one month before the expected date of redelivery, or promptly if such event occurs less than one month before the expiry of the Charter Period. If Charterers exercise their option to extend the Charter Period pursuant to this
Clause, the Charter Period shall be deemed to include such extension and hire shall be payable at the rate(s) which would have been payable but for the relevant off-hire event.

consultation with Owners, (such consultation will not take longer than a week unless Charterer permits an extension), Charterers shall have the option to lay up the Vessel at a safe place nominated by them and acceptable to Owners. Charterers shall
exercise due diligence to ascertain the safety of such place but shall be under no liability in respect thereof except for loss or damage caused by Charterers’ failure to exercise due diligence. If Charterers exercise the option to lay up the
Vessel then the hire stipulated in PART 1, Section H shall be adjusted to reflect any net increase in expenditure reasonably incurred (including but not limited to costs reasonably incurred in preparing the Vessel for lay up as well as
restoring it to the condition in which it was immediately prior to laying up) or net saving which should reasonably be made by Owners as a result of such lay up.

operations at or off any other port to which Charterers may require the Master to divert the Vessel at any time after leaving any loading port. Charterers shall obtain the consent of the owners of any cargo on board at the time before requiring the
Vessel to be diverted. 
 Charterers’ representative shall be entitled to survey, and take samples from, any or all of the
Vessel’s cargo tanks, bunker fuel tanks and non-cargo spaces at any place referred to above.

discretion, a risk that, in the ordinary course of events, the Vessel will not be able safely to enter and remain at the port or area or to depart after completion of loading or discharging. The Vessel shall not be obliged to force ice but, subject
to Owners’ prior approval, may follow ice-breakers when reasonably required, with due regard to its size, construction and class. If, on account of ice, the Master in his sole discretion considers it unsafe to proceed to, enter or remain at the
place of loading or discharging for fear of the Vessel being frozen in and/or damaged, he shall be at liberty to sail to the nearest ice-free place and there await Charterers’ instructions.

“If the Vessel comes into collision with another vessel as a result of the negligence of the other vessel and any act, neglect or

non-carrying vessel or its owners in so far as such loss or liability represents loss of, or damage to, or any claim whatsoever of the owners of said goods, paid or payable by the other or non-carrying vessel or its owners to the owners of said
goods and set off, recouped or recovered by the other or non-carrying vessel or its owners as part of their claim against the carrying vessel or carrier.

respect of collision or contact.” 
 Whilst Charterers shall procure that all bills of lading and waybills issued under
this Charter shall contain a provision in the foregoing terms, to be applicable where the liability for any collision in which the Vessel is involved falls to be determined under the preamble of this Clause 33, Charterers neither warrant nor
undertake that such provision shall be effective. In the event that such provision proves ineffective Charterers shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein provided, not be obliged to indemnify Owners.

	 	(i)	The twenty-four (24) hours’ allowance (pro rated in the case of a part cargo) plus the appropriate crude oil washing allowance, if any, calculated in
accordance with the Crude Oil Washing and Stripping Clause, shall be apportioned to each grade, which is discharged consecutively in the ratio that the quantity of that grade discharged bears to the total quantity of all grades of cargo discharged
consecutively This ratio shall be calculated by dividing the quantity of each grade that is discharged consecutively by the aggregated bill of lading quantities for all grades discharged consecutively For the purposes of this apportionment, where
two (2) or more grades are discharge concurrently, the quantities so discharged shall be aggregated and treated as one grade. 

  

	 	(ii)	The allowance apportioned to each grade pursuant to paragraph (ii) shall then be offset against the total time actually taken to discharge that grade. Any excess
time will be for Owners’ account. However, if the Vessel maintains a minimum discharge pressure of seven (7)-bar 100 PSI throughout the bulk discharge of a particular grade - then the time taken to
discharge the grade will be for Charterers’ account.
