ASBATANKVOY -- CHARTER PARTY -- DEMURRAGE -- TERMINAL LOGS -- TIME-BAR -- Charterer Award
This case’s Charter Party clearly stipulates that there are no grounds for demurrage unless the claim (along with supporting documentation) is received within ninety days of cargo discharge. So when the Owner submitted a claim on the ninetieth day without the specifically outlined terminal logs, the Charterer deemed the demurrage time-barred by the Charter Party.
