SHELLTIME 4 — CARGO — CONTAMINATION — DEADFREIGHT — POSSESSORY LIEN — DISPORT — TIME-CHARTER — OFF-HIRE — Owner Award

In response to a Charterer agreement to use the unclean Vessel for transporting sub-Charterer’s naphtha cargo, the sub-Charterer refused to load the Vessel to full capacity in fear of cargo contamination. The Charterer subsequently claimed deadfreight and incurred a possessory lien for over a month at disport. Under the time-charter contract, the Owner seeks hire payment for the month-long arrest which the Charterer deducted as off-hire.
