Maritime Charter Clause Explained

Summary

Clause 124 in maritime charter agreements is triggered when a vessel stays over 20 consecutive days in a tropical zone or 25 days in other zones. This clause outlines that the vessels owner is not responsible for speed reduction or increased bunker consumption due to marine growth during these periods. If the vessel exceeds these durations, bottom cleaning must be arranged by the charterers at their expense before redelivery. Review any amendments or agreements for specific changes to the clause.
