      Vessel to

                        The

                        The
                        Vessel is to be delivered without drydocking. However, the
                        Buyers shall

                        a diver approved by the Classification Society prior to the
                        delivery of

                        available for
                        such inspection. The extent of the inspection and the conditions

                        which it is performed shall be to the satisfaction of the
                        Classification
                        Society. If the conditions at the port of delivery are unsuitable
                        for such
                        inspection, the Sellers shall make the Vessel available at
                        a suitable
                        alternative place near to the delivery port.

            load line are found broken, damaged or defective so as to affect the
            Vessel’s
            class, then unless repairs can be carried out afloat to the satisfaction
            of the
            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.

           

          (iii)
            If the Vessel is to be drydocked pursuant to Clause 6 b) (ii) and no
            suitable
            drydocking facilities are available at the port of delivery, the Sellers
            shall
            take the Vessel to a port where suitable drydocking facilities are available,
            whether within or outside the delivery range as per Clause 5 b). Once
            drydocking
            has taken place the Sellers shall deliver 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 event the cancelling date provided
            for
            in Clause 5 b) shall be extended by the additional time required for
            the
            drydocking and extra steaming, but limited to a maximum of 14 running
            days.

                        the Vessel is drydocked pursuant to Clause 6 a) or 6 b) above
                        

                    

            

          

           

          (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, these 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

            condition/recommendation* as a result of the survey or if it requires

            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
