134

	 	
the Sellers if the Classification Society issues any condition/recommendation* as a result

	
135

136

	 	
shall pay the aforesaid expenses, dues and fees.

	
137

140

141

	 	
Classification surveyor's work, if any, and without affecting the Vessel's timely delivery. If,

	
142

	 	
however, the Buyers' work in drydock is still in progress when the Sellers have

	
143

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

	
144

	 	
needed to complete the Buyers' work shall be for the Buyers' risk and expense. In the event
