Chemifalcon Shipping Co. v. Maravan S.A. (The “Chemifalcon”) – SMA No. 3128, 23 Nov 1994
ASBATANKVOY — FOOT SAMPLE — CHARTER PARTY — REFINERY — CONTAMINATION — BALLAST — SHIFT — BERTH
After the Vessel failed both a tank inspection and the first foot sample, the Charterers exercised their right to terminate the charter party. However, the Owners insisted on a second foot sample and blamed the first foot sample’s contamination on the Refinery Loading Master’s order to ballast the Vessel during the shift to berth.
