London Arbitration 17/05

ASBATANKVOY -- ARBITRATION -- CARGO -- BURDEN OF PROOF -- PREMATURE NOR -- DESPATCH -- CARGO LOSS -- SIMULTANEOUS CARGO HANDLING -- Owner Award This arbitration dispute centers around the finer responsibilities of the Owner to load with "utmost dispatch" and to load concurrently in cases of more than one cargo. However, if the Charterer sustains a loss from delayed loading, the burden to prove any such loss lies on the Charterers.
