Charterers Terms and Conditions 2020

The preparation of cargo holds for the next intended carriage is a critical operation which requires careful planning and execution; this article considers a number of legal issues which may arise, including terms commonly used in charterparties to describe the cleanliness of cargo holds, the consequences of failing to comply with such terms, potentially resulting in off-hire claims and damages, and the role of the independent surveyor.

From the 2018/19 policy year, the Club will no longer send out hardcopies of either the Rule Book or Correspondents Book automatically. If you need to specify how many you require and where you would like them sent.

For the last two years the Club has not automatically printed hard copies of the Rule Book or the Correspondents book. For the 2019 policy year, the Club will continue to produce just pdf copies of both books which will be available to download from the Club website.

For the last four years, hard copies of the UK Club's Rules and Correspondents books have been limited to reduce our impact on the planet.
