                the Buyers accept the new date, the date proposed in the Sellers'
                notification shall be deemed to be the new cancelling date and shall

                Sellers shall place the Vessel in drydock at the port of delivery
                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 at the Sellers' expense to the
                satisfaction of the Classification Society without
                condition/recommendation*.

            

    

     

    
      	b)**	
              (i) The
                Vessel is to be delivered without drydocking. However, the 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 available
                for
                such inspection. The extent of the inspection and the conditions
                under
                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.

            

    

     

    (ii) 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, 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 drydockod pursuant to Clause 6 b) (ii) and no suitable dry
      docking 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.

     

    
      	c)	
              If
                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,
      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 those 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).

      or found defective  or
      broken so as to affect the Vessel’s class*.

 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.

      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

      completion of the  Sellers'
      work tender Notice of Readiness for delivery whilst the Vessel is still in
      drydock  and
      the
