Charterparty
 (7) For the purposes of subsections (2) to (4), if the document is required by a provision of this instrument to be signed by the charterer under the charterparty for a ship on demise charter, then the reference in that provision to the charterer under the charterparty is taken to be a reference to:
 (a) if there is one charterer under the charterparty—that charterer or a person appointed under subsection (9) by that charterer; or
 (b) otherwise—a person appointed under subsection (9) by a majority of the charterers under the charterparty.
 (8) To avoid doubt, subsection (7) does not apply in relation to a document that is required by a provision of this instrument to be signed by each charterer under the charterparty for a ship on demise charter.
