Alpaca Shipping Corp. v. Enichem America, Inc. (The “Artesia”) – SMA No. 3380, 11 Jul 1997
ASBATANKVOY — CARGO — DISPORT — CONTAMINATION — DEMURRAGE — LAYTIME — HANDLING COSTS — Owner Award
Because the cargo was found to be off spec at disport, the Charterers accepted a US$100,000 settlement for the contamination. In addition to the settlement, the Owners submitted a demurrage claim for additional laytime at disport.
