                  at which the deviation commenced, provided, however, that any service given or distance made good by the vessels 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 21 (a), puts into any port other than the port to which she is bound on the instructions of Charterers, the port

                  off-hire, whether lost on passage to the drydocking port or after arrival there

            
	 	 	 	 	
              Any time which, but for sub-Clause (i)
                  above, would be off-hire, shall not be included in any calculation under Clause 24.

            
	 	 	 	 	
              The expenses of gas-freeing, including without limitation the cost of bunkers, shall be for the Owners account.

            
	 	 	
              (c)

            	
              If Owners require the vessel, instead of proceeding to
                    the offered port, to carry out periodical drydocking at a special port selected by them and not agreed by the
                    Charterers, the vessel shall be off-hire from
                    the time when she is released to proceed to the special port until she next presents for loading in accordance with Charterers’ instructions, provided, however, that Charterers shall credit Owners with the time which would have been
                    taken on passage at the service speed had the vessel not proceeded to drydock. All fuel consumed shall be paid for by owners but Charterers shall credit Owners with the value of the fuel which would have been used on such notional
                    passage calculated at the guaranteed daily
                    consumption for the service speed, and shall further credit Owners with any benefit they may gain in purchasing bunkers at the special port.

            
	 	 	
              (d)

            	
              Charterers shall, insofar as cleaning for .periodical drydocking may have reduced the amount of tank-cleaning necessary to
                    meet Charterers’ requirements, credit Owners with
                    the value of any bunkers which Charterers calculate to have been saved thereby, whether the vessel drydocks at an offered or a special port.

              Charterers shall have the right at any time during the charter period to make such inspection of the vessel as they may consider
                  necessary. This right may be exercised as often and at such intervals as Charterers in their absolute discretion may determine and whether the vessel is in port or on passage.

              Owners affording all necessary co-operation and accommodation on board provided, however:

            
	 	 	
              (a)

            	
              That neither the exercise nor the non-exercise, nor anything done or not done in the exercise or non-exercise, by Charterers of
                  such right shall in any way reduce the master’s or Owners’ authority over, or responsibility to Charterers or third parties for, the vessel and every aspect of her operation, nor increase Charterers’ responsibilities to Owners or third
                  parties for the same; and;

            
	 	 	
              (b)

            	
              That Charterers shall not be liable for any act, neglect or default by themselves, their servants or agents in the exercise of
                  non-exercise of the aforesaid right.

              Provisional speed and consumption range between 13.0 – 16.5 knots, ballast & laden,
                  based the speed & consumption curves from the shipbuilding contract, to be reviewed six (6) months after delivery of the vessel.  Charterers to order the vessel at various speeds, laden & ballast, during that six (6) months after
                  delivery period.  Final speed & consumption guarantees, up-to Beaufort wind and wave scale 4, basis about 13.0 to 16.5 knots (+/- 0.5 knots) to be agreed after six (6) months and based upon the actual performance of each vessel.

            
	 	 	 	 
	 	 	 	
              The foregoing bunker consumptions are for all purposes except cargo heatingcooling and tank cleaning inerting

              And shall be pro-rated between the speeds shown.

              The service speed of the vessel if 16.5 knots laden and 16.5 knots in ballast and in the absence of Charterers’ orders
                  to the contrary the vessel shall proceed at the service speed.  In Addition to the above Warranted Speeds and
                    Consumptions, Charterers shall be entitled to order the Vessel to slow steam down to eleven knots laden (11.0 knots) and eleven point five knots ballast (11.5 knots), always excluding transits through recognized Piracy Zones.

            
	 	 	 	
              However if more than one laden and one ballast speed are shown in the table above Charterers shall have the right to order the
                  vessel to steam at any speed within the range set out in the table (the “ordered speed”)

              If the vessel is ordered to proceed at any speed other than the highest speed shown in the table, and the average speed actually
                  attained by the vessel during the currency of such order exceeds such ordered speed plus 0.5 knots (the “Maximum recognised speed”), then for the purpose of calculating a decrease of hire under this Clause 24 the maximum recognized speed shall be used in place of the average speed actually attained.

            
	 	 	 	
              For the purposes of this charter the “guaranteed speed” at any time shall be the then-current ordered speed or the service speed,
                  as the case may be.

              The average speeds and bunker consumptions shall for the purposes of this Clause 24 be calculated by reference to the observed distance from pilot station FAOP (full away on passage) to pilot

                      station EOSP (end of sea passage) on all sea passages during each period stipulated in Clause 24 (c), but excluding any time during which the vessel is (or but for Clause 22 (b) (i) would be) off-hire and also excluding “Adverse Weather Periods”, being:

            
	 	 	 	
              (i)

            	
              any periods during which reduction of speed is necessary for safety in congested and/or draft restricted waters

              or in poor visibility and/or areas such as restricted channels;

            
	 	 	 	
              (ii)

            	
              any days, noon to noon, when winds or wave exceed force 48 on the Beaufort Scale for more than 12 hours

            
	 	 	
              (b)

            	
              If during any year from the date on which the vessel enters service (anniversary to anniversary) the vessel falls below or exceeds
                  the performance guaranteed in Clause 24 (a) then if such shortfall or excess results:

            
	 	 	 	
              (i)

            	
              From a reduction or an increase in the average speed of the vessel, compared to the speed guaranteed in Clause 24 (a) then an amount equal to the value at the hire rate of the time so lost or gained, as
                    the case may be, shall be included in the performance calculation;

            
	 	 	 	
              (ii)

            	
              From an increase or a decrease in the total bunkers consumed, compared to the total bunkers which would have been consumed had the
                  vessel performed as guaranteed in Clause 24 (a), an amount equivalent
                    to the value of the additional bunkers consumed or

              the bunkers saved, as the case may be, based on the average price paid by Charterers for the vessel’s bunkers in such period, shall
                  be inducted in the performance calculation.

            
	 	 	 	
              The results of the performance calculation for laden and ballast mileage respectively shall be  adjusted to take into account the
                  mileage steamed in each such condition during Adverse Weather  Periods, by dividing such addition or deduction by the number of miles over which the  performance has been calculated and multiplying by the same number of miles plus the
                  miles  steamed during the Adverse Weather Periods, in order to establish the total performance calculation for such period.

            
	 	 	 	
              Reduction of hire under the foregoing sub-Clause (b) shall be without prejudice to any other remedy available to Charterers.

            
	 	
              (c)

            	
              Calculations under this Clause 24 shall
                  be made for the yearly periods terminating on each successive anniversary of the date on which the vessel enters service, and for the period between the last such anniversary and the date of termination of this charter if less than a
                  year.

              Claims in respect of reduction of hire arising under this Clause during the final year or part  year of the charter period shall in the first instance be settled in accordance with
                      Charterers’ estimate made two months before the end of the charter period following agreement thereon
                    between Charterers and Owners.  Any necessary adjustment after this charter terminates shall be made by payment by owners to Charterers or by Charterers to owners as the case may require.

                

            
	 	
              (d)

            	
              Owners and Charterers agree that this Clause 24
                  is assessed on the basis that Owners are not entitled to additional hire for performance in excess of the speeds and consumptions given in  this Clause 24. Notwithstanding the above, Owners not to claim for over-performance but any claim from Charterers for under-performance is to
                    be off-set against over-performance.

                  hereof, all loss of time end all expenses (excluding any damage to or loss of the vessel or tortious liabilities to third parties) incurred in saving or attempting to save life or in successful or unsuccessful attempts at salvage shall be
                  borne equally by Owners and Charterers provided that Charterers shall not be liable to contribute towards any salvage payable by Owners arising in any way out of services rendered under this Clause 25 .

              All salvage and all proceeds from derelicts shall be divided equally between Owners and Charterers after deducting the master’s,
                  officers’ and crew’s share.

              The vessel, her master and Owners shall not, unless otherwise in this charter expressly provided, be liable for any toss or damage
                  or delay or failure arising or resulting from any act, neglect or default of the master, pilots, mariners or other servants of Owners in the navigation or management of the vessel; fire, unless caused by the actual fault or privity of
                  Owners; collision or stranding; dangers and accidents of the sea; explosion, bursting of boilers, breakage of shafts or any latent defect in hull, equipment or machinery; provided, however, that Clauses 1. 2, 3 and 24 hereof shall be unaffected by the foregoing. Further, neither the vessel,
                  her master or Owners, nor Charterers shall, unless otherwise in this charter expressly provided, be liable for any loss or damage or delay or failure in performance hereunder arising or resulting from act of God, act of war, seizure under
                  legal process, quarantine restrictions, strikes, lock-outs, riots, restraints of labour, civil commotions or arrest or restraint of princes, rulers or people.

              (ii)

            	
              any claim (whether brought by Charterers or any other person) arising out of any loss of or damage to or in connection with cargo. Any
                  such claim shall be subject to the Hague-Visby Rules or the Hague Rules or the Hamburg Rules, as the case may be, which ought pursuant to Clause 38
                  hereof to have been incorporated in the relevant Bill of Lading (whether or not such Rules were so incorporated) or, if no such Bill of Lading is issued, to the Hague-Visby Rules unless the Hamburg Rules compulsorily apply in which case
                  to the Hamburg Rules.

                      chemical waste, or any other substances which are not inherent to bunkers. if Owners require the vessel to be supplied with more expensive bunkers they shall be liable for the extra cost  thereof.

                Charterers warrant that all bunkers provided by them in accordance herewith shall be of a quality complying with ISO Standard
                    8217 (2005) for Marine Residual Fuels and Marine Distillate Fuels as applicable, and any subsequent amendments thereto.

      References in this Guarantee to the Charter shall mean the Time Charter and entered into between the Owners and Charterers or any of them
          and shall extend to include the same as may be varied, supplemented, renewed or replaced from time to time. References in this Guarantee to “you” shall mean Charterers.

      

      

      
        
          	1.	
                  In consideration of your entering into the Charter and for other good: and valuable consideration the receipt and the sufficiency of which we hereby

                	(i)	
                  the due and punctual performance and observance by the Owners of all the terms and conditions of the Charter and of all their obligations under or pursuant

          sampling and the provision of bunker delivery notes.

      

      

      (b) Owners warrant, in the event the vessel trades in a SECA, or into a Member State of the EU following the entry into force of the
          Directive, that the Vessel: (I) complies with Regulation 14 and 18 of MARPOL Annex VI and with the requirements of the SECA or the Directive as applicable; (II) is able to consume fuels of the required sulphur content when ordered by the

                  to commingle different grades of cargo providing such grades fall within the cargo description set out in this charter,

                

        

      

      
        
          	ii)	
                  to breach vessel’s natural segregation,

                

        

      

      
        
          	iii)	
                  to dope the cargo with additive supplied by Charterers (see Additional Clause 36 - Cargo Stenching)

                

        

      

      *These operations shall be carried out or supervised by an inspector appointed by the Charterers.

          have been provided by Charterers.

                  To indemnify Owners, Owners servants and agents and to hold all of them harmless in respect of any liability, loss, damage or expense of whatsoever nature
                      and which they may sustain in connection with complying with Charterers’ request including loss or damage caused by an inspector appointed by Charterers, except to the extent that such liability, loss, damage or expense could have
                      been avoided by the exercise of due diligence by Owners.

                

        

      

      
        
          	2.

                      indemnify Owners in respect of any liability, loss, damage or expense caused by such arrest or detention or threatened arrest or detention or such interference, whether or not such arrest or detention or threatened arrest or detention
                      or such interference may be justified subject to Charterers’ involvement in any negotiations in the provision of such bail or security.

                

        

      

      
        
          	4.

          	6.

                      indemnity shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the High Court of Justice of England.

          Additional Terms

        

      

      

      

      

      

      If the vessel proceeds to or through an area in which there is a current risk of piracy, verified by a competent international authority, Owners will at all times adhere to the latest version of Best
          Management Practices (including with respect to routing) (“BMP”), and Owners shall be entitled:

      
        
          	(a)	
                  to take reasonable preventative measures to protect the vessel, her crew and cargo by proceeding in convoy, using escorts, avoiding day or night navigation,
                      adjusting speed or course;

          	(c)	
                  where there is an actual, imminent act of piracy, and only after giving Charterers reasonable advance notice, to take a safe and reasonable alternative
                      route in place of the normal, direct or intended route to the next port of call, provided that such alternative route does not, in the case of the Gulf of Aden, physically extend beyond the transit of the Gulf of Aden in which case
                      Owners shall give Charterers reasonable advance notice of the alternative route, an estimate of time and bunker consumption and a revised estimated time of arrival.

                

        

      

      Sub--Clause (2):

      Subject to sub-Clause (5) below, Charterers shall pay owners’ reasonable, documented costs and expenses in respect of
          any additional hull and machinery, or, if applicable, war risks and other directly relevant insurance premiums, and/or additional, reasonable and contractual, crew costs arising out of actual or threatened acts of piracy or any preventive or
          other measures taken by Owners pursuant to Sub-Clause l(a) of this Clause.

      Sub-Clause (3):

      The vessel shall remain on-hire for any time lost taking the measures referred to in Sub-Clause 1 of this Clause.

      Sub-Clause (4):

      Where, notwithstanding the taking of any of the measures referred to in sub-Clause 1 above, and unless Charterers can
          demonstrate that it was caused by a lack of due diligence on Owners’’ part, and where Charterers have not exercised the option to require Owners to purchase off-hire insurance pursuant to sub--Clause (5) below, the vessel is captured by pirates,
          hire shall be payable at 100% of the hire rate for the duration of any such capture.

      Sub-Clause (5):

      Charterers shall have the option, where the vessel is scheduled to transit the Gulf of Aden, or other areas of known
          piracy risk, to require Owners to either:

      (a) extend existing war risk insurance; or

      (b) purchase off-hire insurance, which in either case will cover loss of hire, the cost of which shall be reimbursed by Charterers, provided always that:

      (i) Owners obtain from their insurers a waiver of any subrogated rights against Charterers in respect of any claims by Owners under the foregoing insurances arising out of
          compliance with Charterers’ orders;

      (ii) the terms of cover and cost have been disclosed to, and agreed by, Charterers prior to the purchase of such Insurance; and

      (iii) that following the exercise of such option, the vessel shall go off-hire for any time lost as a result of a capture by pirates. The vessel shall return on-hire in case the
          off-hire insurance expires and the vessel is still captured.

      Sub-Clause (6):

      The safety and protection of crew and vessel is Owners’ obligation and it is for Owners to determine the level of
          threat and the measures considered appropriate to discharge that obligation. If Owners deploy government-supplied Military Armed Guards or Private Armed Guards, then it is an express condition of this charter that Owners will, on a
          voyage-by-voyage basis:

      (a) give Charterers advance notice of such intended deployment as soon as reasonably practicable but not less than five (5) days’ notice prior to such deployment and throughout
          such voyage, Owners will adhere to the response submitted in the Vessel Security Questionnaire;

      (b) confirm in advance of deployment that such deployment has been notified to Owners’ P&I and War Risks underwriters without objection (with evidence, satisfactory to
          Charterers, of Owners’ exchanges with underwriters);

      (c) ensure in advance of, and throughout, any deployment that such deployment complies with all flag state requirements, laws of the flag state, and any other applicable laws; and

      (d) continue to adhere to the latest BMP.

      Sub-Clause (7):

      All reasonable costs and expenses directly associated with the deployment of government-supplied Military Armed Guards
          and/or Private Armed Guards and/or unarmed guards shall be 100 percent Charterers cost, subject always to Owners supplying documentary evidence of such total costs. Owners will indemnify and hold Charterers harmless against all claims,
          liabilities, costs and expenses of whatsoever nature which arise directly in connection with the deployment of government-supplied Military Armed Guards and/or Private Armed Guards and/or unarmed Guards.

                      comply with the same. Any claims, loss or delay arising, either in an Affected Area or at subsequent ports of call, as a result of Owners’ failing to comply with this sub clause (h), shall be for Owners’ sole account and the Vessel
                      will be off-hire for any time lost.

                

        

      

      
        
          	i)	
                  If in compliance with this Clause anything is done or not done, such shall not be deemed a deviation, but shall be considered as due fulfilment of
                      this Charter Party. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Clause and any implied or express provision of the Charter Party, this Clause shall prevail to the extent of such conflict, but no further.

          Background

          The Charterers, the Original Owners and the New Owners have agreed to novate the Time Charter Party and replace
              the Original Owners with the New Owners in accordance with the terms of this Novation Agreement. The terms used in this Novation Agreement shall have the same meaning as the terms used in the Time Charter Party.

          

        

        1.   Novation

        In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein the receipt and the sufficiency of which
            the Original Owners hereby acknowledge, it is agreed that on and with effect from the Effective Time as stated in Box 8 the Time Charter Party shall be novated as follows:

        (a)  The New Owners shall be substituted in place of the Original Owners as a party to the Time
            Charter Party. The novated Time Charter Party shall be construed and treated, and the Charterers shall be bound by the novated Time Charter Party in all respects, as if the New Owners were named in the novated Time Charter Party instead of the
            Original Owners.

        (b)  The Charterers release and discharge the Original Owners from all liabilities, claims,
            duties and obligations whatsoever in respect of the Time Charter Party.

        (c)  The Original Owners release and discharge the Charterers from all liabilities, claims,
            duties and obligations whatsoever in respect of the Time Charter Party.

        (d)  The New Owners shall have all the rights, title, benefits and interest under the Time
            Charter Party to the exclusion of the Original Owners and accordingly the Charterers undertake to perform their obligations under the novated Time Charter Party in favour of the New Owners.

        (e)  The New Owners shall assume all liabilities, duties and obligations under the Time Charter
            Party and accordingly, the New Owners undertake to perform their obligations under the novated Time Charter Party in favour of the Charterers.

        (f)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Original Owners and the Charterers shall remain liable to
            each other under the Time Charter Party after the Effective Time in respect of any obligation or liability of whatsoever nature of the Original Owners and/or the Charterers, including but not limited to any obligation or liability of whatsoever
            nature owed to a third party, arising out of the Time Charter Party before the Effective Time. The New Owners shall have no liability whatsoever to the Original Owners or the Charterers in respect of any such liabilities and the Original Owners
            and the Charterers shall jointly and severally indemnify the New Owners in relation to any obligation or liability of whatsoever nature owed to a third party arising out of the Time Charter Party before the Effective Time.

        2.   Amendments
            to the Time Charter Party

          

        From the Effective Time, all references in the Time Charter Party to the Vessel shall be deemed
            amended by this Novation Agreement so as to refer to the New Owners’ Vessel Details as stated in Box 10.

        3.   Charter Hire

        The Original Owners shall be paid hire by the Charterers in accordance with the Time Charter
            Party up to the Effective Time. The New Owners shall be paid hire by the Charterers in accordance with the Time Charter Party from the Effective Time. Payment shall be made to the New Owners’ bank account as stated in Box 9. The hire due in
            respect of the period from the Effective Time up to the date the next instalment of hire falls due under the Time Charter Party shall be paid by the Charterers to the New Owners on or before the Effective Time.

        4.   Warranties

        As at the Effective Time:

        (a)  the Original Owners and the Charterers warrant to the New Owners that the Time Charter Party
            has not been amended, varied, canceled, terminated, rescinded or novated, remains valid and binding and constitutes the entire agreement between the Original Owners and the Charterers relating to the subject matter of the Time Charter Party;

        (b)  the Original Owners and the Charterers warrant to the New Owners that no event or
            circumstance has occurred or is continuing which will entitle or result in cancellation, termination or rescission of the Time Charter Party, or otherwise render it void or unenforceable; and

        (c)  the Original Owners warrant that they have not assigned or transferred or granted any
            interest in the Time Charter Party to any other party and that they will not in the future attempt to do so.

        5.   Effective
            Time Survey

        If agreed and stated in Box 14 and as soon as practicably possible after the last discharge port
            prior to the Effective Time or before the first loading port after the Effective Time, the parties shall each appoint surveyors, for their respective accounts, to conduct a joint Effective Time Survey to ascertain the condition of the Vessel. A
            single

        
          
            

        

        

        

        report shall be prepared and signed by each surveyor, without prejudice to their right to file a
            separate report setting forth items upon which the surveyors cannot agree.

        If any party fails to have a representative attend the Effective Time Survey and sign the joint
            survey report, such party shall nevertheless be bound for all purposes by the findings agreed by the other parties.

        Any time lost as a result of the Effective Time Survey shall be shared equally between the

            in accordance with English law and any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Novation Agreement shall be referred to arbitration in London in accordance with the Arbitration Act 1996 or any statutory modification or re-enactment
            thereof save to the extent necessary to give effect to the provisions of this Clause. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the London Maritime Arbitrators Association (LMAA) Terms current at the time when the arbitration
            proceedings are commenced. The reference shall be to three arbitrators. A party wishing to refer a dispute to arbitration shall appoint its arbitrator and send notice of such appointment in writing to the other party requiring the other party
            to appoint its own arbitrator within 14 calendar days of that notice and stating that it will appoint its arbitrator as sole arbitrator unless the other party appoints its own arbitrator and gives notice that it has done so within the 14 days
            specified. If the other party does not appoint its own arbitrator and give notice that it has done so within the 14 days specified, the party referring a dispute to arbitration may, without the requirement of any further prior notice to the
            other party, appoint its arbitrator as sole arbitrator and shall advise the other party accordingly. The award of a sole arbitrator shall be binding on both parties as if the arbitrator had been appointed by agreement. In the event that there
            are more than two parties to the arbitration, then all three arbitrators shall be appointed by agreement between the parties. In the event that the parties cannot agree on the three arbitrators within 14 days of one party giving notice to the
            other parties calling for arbitration, any party to the dispute shall be entitled to apply to the President of the LMAA who shall then appoint all three arbitrators.

        Nothing herein shall prevent the parties agreeing in writing to vary these provisions to provide
            for the appointment of a sole arbitrator.

        In cases where neither the claim nor any counterclaim exceeds the sum of USD 100,000 (or such
            other sum as the parties may agree) the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the LMAA Small Claims Procedure current at the time when the arbitration proceedings are commenced.

        (b) *This Novation Agreement shall be governed by U.S.
            maritime law or, if this Novation Agreement is not a maritime contract under U.S. law, by the laws of the State of New York and any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Novation Agreement shall be referred to three (3) persons at
            New York. If there are two parties to the dispute, each shall appoint an arbitrator and the two so chosen shall appoint a third. If there are three parties to the dispute, then each party shall appoint an arbitrator. If any party fails to
            nominate an arbitrator within 20 days

            enforcing any award, judgment may be entered on an award by any court of competent jurisdiction. The proceedings shall be conducted in accordance with the SMA Rules current as of the date of this Novation Agreement.

        In cases where neither the claim nor any counterclaim exceeds the sum of USD 100,000 (or such
            other sum as the parties may agree) the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the SMA Rules for Shortened Arbitration Procedure current as of the date of this Novation Agreement.

        (c) *This Novation Agreement shall be governed by and
            construed in accordance with Singapore**/English** law.  Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Novation Agreement, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination shall be referred to and finally resolved
            by arbitration in Singapore in accordance with the Singapore International Arbitration Act (Chapter 143A) and any statutory modification or re-enactment thereof save to the extent necessary to give effect to the provisions of this Clause. The
            arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the Singapore Chamber of Maritime Arbitration (SCMA) current at the time when the arbitration proceedings are commenced. The reference to arbitration of disputes under
            this clause shall be to three arbitrators. A party wishing to refer a dispute to arbitration shall appoint its arbitrator and send notice of such appointment in writing to the other party requiring the other party to appoint its own arbitrator
            and give notice that it has done so within 14 calendar days of that notice and stating that it will appoint its own arbitrator as sole arbitrator unless the other party appoints its own arbitrator and gives notice that it has done so within the
            14 days specified. If the other party does not give notice that it has done so within the 14 days specified, the party referring a dispute to arbitration may, without the requirement of any further prior notice to the other party, appoint its
            arbitrator as sole arbitrator and shall advise the other party accordingly. The award of a sole arbitrator shall be binding on both parties as if the arbitrator had been appointed by agreement. In the event that there are more than two parties

            arbitration, any party to the dispute shall be entitled to apply to the President of the SCMA who shall then appoint all three arbitrators.

        Nothing herein shall prevent the parties agreeing in writing to vary these provisions to provide
            for the appointment of a sole arbitrator.

        In cases where neither the claim nor any counterclaim exceeds the sum of USD 75,000 (or such
            other sum as the parties may agree) the arbitration shall be conducted before a single arbitrator in accordance with the SCMA Small Claims Procedure current at the time when the arbitration proceedings are commenced.

            construed in accordance with the laws of the place mutually agreed by the parties and any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Novation Agreement shall be referred to arbitration at a mutually agreed place, subject to the

            parties) a mediator will be appointed promptly by the Arbitration Tribunal (“the Tribunal”) or such person as the Tribunal may designate for that purpose. The mediation shall be conducted in such place and in accordance with such procedure and
            on such terms as the parties may agree or, in the event of disagreement, as may be set by the mediator.

        (iii) If the other party (or parties) does (do) not agree
            to mediate, that fact may be brought to the attention of the Tribunal and may be taken into account by the Tribunal when allocating the costs of the arbitration as between the parties.

        (iv) The mediation shall not affect the right of either
            party (or parties) to seek such relief or take such steps as it (they) considers (consider) necessary to protect its (their) interest.

        (v) A party (or parties) may advise the Tribunal that
            they have agreed to mediation. The arbitration procedure shall continue during the conduct of the mediation but the Tribunal may take the mediation timetable into account when setting the timetable for steps in the arbitration.

        
          
            

        

        

        

        (vi) Unless otherwise agreed or specified in the

            necessarily interrupt time limits.)

            Sub-clause (e) shall apply to Sub-clauses (a), (c) and (d) only. If Box 15 is not filled in, Sub-clause (a) of this Clause shall apply.

        materials) of carrying out the repairs to the satisfaction of the Classification Society, whereafter the Buyers shall have no further rights whatsoever in respect of the defects and/or repairs.  The estimated direct cost of the repairs shall be the
        average of quotes for the repair work obtained from two reputable independent shipyards at or in the vicinity of the port of delivery, one to be obtained by each of the Parties within two (2) Banking Days from the date of the imposition of the
        condition/recommendation, unless the Parties agree otherwise.  Should either of the Parties fail to obtain such a quote within the stipulated time then the quote duly obtained by the other Party shall be the sole basis for the estimate of the
        direct repair costs.  The Sellers may not tender Notice of Readiness prior to such estimate having been established.

                        shall be borne by the Buyers unless the Classification Society requires such survey to be carried out or if parts of the system are condemned or found defective or broken so as to affect the Vessel’s class, in which case the Sellers
                        shall pay these costs and expenses.
