Long distance ocean towage presents numerous challenges to tugowners, not least of which is the impact of adverse weather on the performance of the tug and tow.
From time to time, BIMCO is approached by members enquiring about responsibility for the cleaning of a ship’s underwater parts when it has been idle at a port for a long time pursuant to the orders of the time charterers.
At times of port restrictions and situations where a crew may be infected or fall ill with COVID-19, it has become apparent that the obligations and rights of contracting parties need to be clarified. The main takeaway from the situation is that parties to a contract should communicate and cooperate when problems arise. Pandemic restrictions are a reality and must be complied with.
BIMCO’s Documentary Committee has discussed and approved a proposal to re-write GENCON’s Clause 2, which deals with owners’ liabilities. It is part of a major overhaul of the industry’s most widely used standard voyage charter party.
