                  Buyers
                  shall have the right at their expense to arrange for an underwater
                  inspection by a diver approved by the Classification Society prior
                  to the
                  delivery of the Vessel. The Sellers shall at their cost make the
                  Vessel

                  the
                  conditions under which it is performed shall be to the satisfaction
                  of the

        class,

        Classification Society, the Sellers shall arrange for the Vessel to be drydocked
        at their expense for inspection by the Classification Society of the Vessel's
        underwater parts below the deepest load line, the extent of the inspection
        being
        in accordance with the Classification Society's rules. If the rudder, propeller,
        bottom or other underwater parts below the deepest load line are found broken,
        damaged or defective so as to affect the Vessel's class, such defects shall
        be
        made good by the Sellers at their expense to the satisfaction of the
        Classification Society without condition/recommendation*. In such event the
        Sellers are to pay also for the cost of the underwater inspection and the
        Classification Society's attendance.

      (i)
        the
        Classification Society may require survey of the tailshaft system, the extent
        of
        the survey being to the satisfaction of the Classification surveyor. If such
        survey is not required by the Classification Society, the Buyers shall have
        the
        right to require the tailshaft to be drawn and surveyed by the Classification
        Society, the extent of the survey being in accordance with the Classification
        Society's rules for tailshaft survey and consistent with the current stage
        of
        the Vessel's survey cycle. The Buyers shall declare whether they require
        the
        tailshaft to be drawn and surveyed not later than by the completion of the
        inspection by the Classification Society. The drawing and refitting of the
        tailshaft shall be arranged by the Sellers. Should any parts of the tailshaft
        system be condemned or found defective so as to affect the Vessel's class,
        those
        parts shall be renewed or made good at the Sellers' expense to the satisfaction
        of the Classification Society without
        condition/recommendation*.


      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      


      (ii)
        the
        expenses relating to the survey of the tailshaft system shall be borne by
        the
        Buyers unless the Classification Society requires such survey to be carried
        out,
        in which case the Sellers shall pay these expenses. The Sellers shall also
        pay
        the expenses if the Buyers require the survey and parts of the system are
        condemned or found defective or broken so as to affect the Vessel's
        class*.

      


      (iii)
        the
        expenses in connection with putting the Vessel in and taking her out of drydock,
        including the drydock dues and the Classification Society's fees shall be
        paid
        by the Sellers if the Classification Society issues any
        condition/recommendation* as a result of the survey or if it requires survey
        of
        the tailshaft system. In all other cases the Buyers shall pay the aforesaid
        expenses, dues and fees.

      


      (iv)
        the
        Buyers' representative shall have the right to be present in the drydock,
        but
        without interfering with the work or decisions of the Classification
        surveyor.

      


      (v)
        the
        Buyers shall have the right to have the underwater parts of the Vessel cleaned
        and painted at their risk and expense without interfering with the Sellers'
        or
        the Classification surveyor's work, if any, and without affecting the Vessel's
        timely delivery. If, however, the Buyers' work in drydock is still in progress
        when the Sellers have completed the work which the Sellers are required to
        do,
        the additional docking time needed to complete the Buyers' work shall be
        for the
        Buyers' risk and expense. In the event that the Buyers' work requires such
        additional time, the Sellers may upon completion of the Sellers' work tender
        Notice of Readiness for delivery whilst the Vessel is still in drydock and
        the
        Buyers shall be obliged to take delivery in accordance with Clause
        3,
        whether
        the Vessel is in drydock or not and irrespective of Clause
        5 b).
