- The December 2017 contract is the correct version of the OSRO contract.
- The shipowners have two options either subscribe a contract or subscribe a purchase order every time a ship arrives into Honduran Ports. In either case a Certificate of Coverage will be issued. Normally the stand by fee will be applied per voyage basis.
- It has to be done in advance due to the fact that the Shipping agency has to notify us at least 48 hours prior to arrival in order to be ready when the ship arrives into the ports.
- The stand by fee is calculated according to the GRT of each ship and the following table.
