“A NOR was held to be valid even though the ship was not in a condition to perform the service required when it was tendered. The Tribunal found that the lack of a second anchor, required for river navigation, was not critical since a substitute tug could be ordered instead. The NOR tendered was therefore valid even though the Owners refused to deploy the tug as they considered it was "too expensive".”
