London Arbitration 7/23

Under a T/C trip with redelivery one safe port India or Pakistan, Charterers, following final discharge at Gadani, Pakistan, ordered the Vessel to another port for repair of discharging damage and then purported to redeliver at Fujairah, UAE (outside redelivery range). Dismissing Owners’ claim for a missed follow-on fixture, the Tribunal was only willing to allow damages, at the T/C rate, for a theoretical voyage Fujairah/Gadani.  The only breach was redelivery at the wrong place; there was no late redelivery and other alleged breaches (unsafe discharging/ unauthorised sub-letting) were not causative.
