	 	to vary these provisions to provide for the appointment of a	 	529
	 	sole arbitrator.	 	530
	 	In cases where neither the claim nor any counterclaim	 	531
	 	exceeds the sum of USD50,000 (or such other sum as the	 	532
	 	parties may agree) the arbitration shall be conducted in	 	533

PART II

“SHIPMAN 98” Standard Ship Management Agreement


 





	 	the Sub-managers
 shall seek and obtain the prior written approval	 	 
	 	of the Head Managers in
 respect of such action (including in respect	 	 
	 	of MARCAS and any service
 provider associated with the	 	 
	 	Sub-managers). In the event that the Head
 Managers shall decide to	 	 
	 	perform such action themselves to the exclusion of
 the Sub-managers,	 	 
	 	they shall advise the Sub-managers in writing.	 	 
	 	 
	26.	MARCAS	 	 
	 	 
	 	26.1 The Sub-managers are
 presently members of MARCAS Limited	 	 
	 	(“MARCAS”), an independent contracting
 association providing access	 	 
	 	to commodities and dry dock services globally
 (www.marcas.org).	 	 
	 	MARCAS negotiates on behalf of its members with 	 	 
	 	with selected
 suppliers the best available price, terms and conditions	 	 
	 	for the bulk
 purchase of goods and services for the marine industry	 	 
	 	with the aim of
 offering to members and their clients savings on	 	 
	 	vessel technical operating
 costs. To enable the Sub-managers 	 	 
	 	to
 arrange such supplies on the most advantageous terms,	 	 
	 	the Sub-managers shall be entitled to make bulk purchases	 	 
	 	through MARCAS.	 	 
	 	 
	27	Shipsure	 	 
	 	 
	 	The Sub-managers will,
 subject to the remaining provisions of	 	 
	 	this Clause 27, provide the Head
 Managers and the Vessel at	 	 
	 	no extra cost with the Sub-managers’ proprietary
 ship	 	 
	 	management software in executable object code form as the	 	 
	 	same may be
 upgraded and updated from time to time (the	 	 
	 	“Information System Software”) to allow information from	 	 
	 	both
 the Vessel’s and the Sub-managers’ office to be accessed	 	 
	 	directly by the Head
 Managers via the “PartnerShip Network”	 	 
	 	secure website. Financial, technical
 and operational information	 	 
	 	relating to the Vessel will be available from
 both the Vessel	 	 
	 	and office outputs, with the ability to “drill down” on	 	 
	 	accounts. This will provide the Head Managers with immediate	 	 
	 	access to the
 same information available to the Sub-managers	 	 
	 	and to reports generated for
 the Head Managers, with a view	 	 
	 	to providing improved efficiency and cost
 savings to the	 	 
	 	Head Managers in their overview of the management of the
 Vessel.	 	 
	 	 
	 	Should
 the Head Managers or the
 Owners have
 existing software	 	 
	 	applications on board the Vessel which they wish to retain,
 the	 	 
	 	Head Managers will permit the Sub-managers to carry out an	 	 
	 	on board audit to assess the
 suitability, compatibility with	 	 
	 	the Information System Software, and any
 risks or disadvantages	 	 
	 	associated with the continued use of such
 applications.	 	 
	 	 
	 	The main features of the
 Information System Software	 	 
	 	at the date of this Agreement are:	 	 
	 	 




	 	(i)	comprehensive management
 software providing single	 	 
	 	 	point of entry to the Vessel incorporating crew
 administration,	 	 
	 	 	vessel noon reporting, operational and port reporting, defect	 	 
	 	 	and deficiency reporting and performance monitoring;	 	 
	 	 	 	 	 
	 	(ii)	a ship to shore and shore
 to ship e-mail package providing	 	 
	 	 	cost efficient communications available to
 both the Head	 	 
	 	 	Managers or the Owners and their charterers; and	 	 
	 	 	 	 	 
	 	(iii)	a
 computerised maintenance system including inventory	 	 
	 	 	control and automated
 purchase order handling.	 	 



	 	 
	 	Installation and set-up of
 the Information System Software	 	 
	 	will be undertaken at no cost to the
 Head-managers	 	 
	 	on a date agreed between the Sub-managers and	 	 
	 	the Head Managers
 having regard to the Vessel’s schedule	 	 
	 	and the availability of the
 Sub-managers’ personnel.	 	 
	 	 
	 	Solely for the duration of
 this Agreement the Sub-managers	 	 
	 	hereby grant the Owners a personal,
 non-transferable	 	 
	 	non-exclusive license to use a single copy of the
 Information	 	 
	 	System Software as installed by the Managers on a	 	 
	 	single computer
 on board the Vessel.	 	 
	 	 
	 	The Information System
 Software is owned by the	 	 
	 	Sub-managers or their subsidiaries and is protected
 by	 	 
	 	applicable copyright and patent laws. The Head Managers	 	 
	 	may not copy the
 Information System Software (except	 	 
	 	for back-up purposes only) or any written
 materials which	 	 
	 	 










	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	 	accompany it, and may not
 sell, rent, lease, lend, sub-licence,	 	 
	 	reverse engineer or distribute the
 Information System Software	 	 
	 	or such written materials.	 	 
	 	The Sub-managers do not
 warrant that the Information System	 	 
	 	Software will meet the Head Managers’
 requirements or that the	 	 
	 	use or operation of the Information System Software
 will be	 	 
	 	uninterrupted or error free.	 	 
	 	 
	28.	Vessel trading in high risk areas	 	 
	 	In the
 event that the Vessel is to trade in a high risk area and in	 	 
	 	particular an
 area where piracy is prevalent, the Sub-managers
 shall:	 	 
	 	 	(i)	comply
 in full with the guidance provided by ‘Best	 	 
	 	 	 	Management Practices to Deter
 Piracy off the Coast of	 	 
	 	 	 	Somalia and in the Arabian Sea Area (BMP)’ as may be	 	 
	 	 	 	revised from time to time and also with any similar	 	 
	 	 	 	guidance which may be
 issued for other high risk areas;	 	 
	 	 	(ii)	monitor
 daily guidance and updates provided by The	 	 
	 	 	 	Maritime Security Centre – Horn of
 Africa (MSCHOA)	 	 
	 	 	 	website (www.mschoa.org) as may be revised from	 	 
	 	 	 	time to time
 and advise the Vessel accordingly;	 	 
	 	 	(iii)	comply
 with the guidelines for ‘Transiting off the coast	 	 
	 	 	 	of Somalia, the Arabian
 Sea, Gulf of Aden and Red Sea’	 	 
	 	 	 	as may be revised from time to time and also
 with any	 	 
	 	 	 	similar guidance which may be issued for other high	 	 
	 	 	 	risk areas. The
 guidelines set out their policy of full	 	 
	 	 	 	compliance with BMP and additional
 guidance and	 	 
	 	 	 	information on Self Protection Measures (SPM’s) and	 	 
	 	 	 	Citadels or
 Safe Areas. The Head
 Managers will be	 	 
	 	 	 	provided with a copy of the guidelines and costs for	 	 
	 	 	 	SPM’s will be included
 in the Vessel budget;	 	 
	 	 	(iv)	where
 appropriate, ensure the Vessel follows the	 	 
	 	 	 	International Recommended Transit
 Corridor (IRTC),	 	 
	 	 	 	using the services of an escorted convoy if available	 	 
	 	 	 	or
 joining a group transit if not;	 	 
	 	 	(v)	monitor
 routing recommendations for transiting high	 	 
	 	 	 	risk areas as provided by
 charterers and insurers and	 	 
	 	 	 	review the same as part of the risk assessment	 	 
	 	 	 	carried out for the transit concerned;	 	 
	 	 	(vi)	provide
 sufficient Self Protection Measures (SPM)	 	 
	 	 	 	appropriate to the Vessel’s type,
 size and speed with	 	 
	 	 	 	a view to protecting the Crew as far as possible in the	 	 
	 	 	 	event of an attack. To be determined by the risk	 	 
	 	 	 	assessment required by BMP
 for the transit concerned	 	 
	 	 	 	and before entering the high risk area; and	 	 
	 	 	(vii)	provide
 training for the Crew in BMP prior to transiting	 	 
	 	 	 	any high risk area.	 	 
	 	All
 these services set out in this clause (other than materials	 	 
	 	required for SPM
 implementation) are provided by the	 	 
	 	Sub-managers free of any cost to the Head
 Managers.	 	 
	 	 
	29.	Float	 	 
	 	On or prior to the date
 stated in Box 2 the Head Managers	 	 
	 	shall provide to the Sub-managers a sum of
 $75,000 which shall	 	 
	 	be available to the Head Managers in their reasonable
 discretion	 	 
	 	for payment of any sum due under the terms of this Agreement,	 	 
	 	which sum will be held in the Manager’s bank account (the “Float”).	 	 
	 	The Head
 Managers agree that on termination of this Agreement,	 	 
	 	the Sub-managers shall
 be entitled to retain all or part of the	 	 
	 	Float in payment of any sums then
 outstanding under the terms	 	 
	 	of this Agreement and, subject thereto, the
 Sub-managers shall	 	 
	 	reimburse the Float to the Owner by no later than 3
 months	 	 
	 	after the termination of this Agreement.	 	 
	 	 
	30.	Crew	 	 
	 	The Head Managers agree to
 implement in full the terms and	 	 
	 	conditions of employment under which the Crew
 are engaged	 	 
	 	by the Sub-managers as agent for the Head Managers.	 	 
	 	If the Vessel
 is covered by an ITF approved agreement the	 	 
	 	Head Managers authorize the
 Sub-managers to sign the ITF	 	 
	 	Special Agreement on their behalf and agree to
 provide all	 	 
	 	information necessary for this purpose.
