AP Moller v. Harbour Rich Chemical Co., Ltd. (The “Haigas”) – SMA No. 3547, 2 Aug 1999

ASBATANKVOY — DISPORT — DEMURRAGE — BERTH — SHORESIDE — ARBITRATION — CHARTER PARTY — Owner Award

Upon arriving at disport, the Vessel accrued extensive demurrage while being forced to wait for a free berth and shoreside storage space. And when the Owner started arbitration to recover demurrage, the Charterers did not appoint an arbitrator, denied the existence of a binding charter party, and refused to acknowledge the jurisdiction of the Panel to settle disputes.
