the Vessel at a port within the delivery range as per Clause 5 b) which shall, for the
purpose of this Clause, become the new port of delivery. In such

Sellers’ repair works but always excluding hot works, in drydock, against the Buyers signing
the Sellers’ usual Letter of Indemnity and provided such attendance and painting does not
interfere with the Sellers’ work. If the Sellers’ work is completed whilst the Buyers’
painting work is still in progress then delivery shall be in drydock.

If the vessel is required to be drydocked in accordance with the provisions hereof,
notwithstanding Clause 5 hereof, the Vessel shall be delivered at the port of the dockyard

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

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,

completed the work which the Sellers are required to do, the additional docking time needed

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
