121 not tender Notice of Readiness prior to completion of the underwater inspection.

 

122 (ii) If the rudder, propeller, bottom or other underwater parts below the deepest load line are
123 found broken, damaged or defective so as to affect the Vessel’s class, then (1) unless
124 repairs can be carried out afloat to the satisfaction of the Classification Society, the
125 Sellers shall arrange for the Vessel to be drydocked at their expense for inspection by
126 the Classification Society of the Vessel’s underwater parts below the deepest load line,
127 the extent of the inspection being in accordance with the Classification Society’s rules (2)

129 satisfaction of the Classification Society without condition/recommendation** and (3) the

131 attendance.

 

132 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Classification Society
133 do not require the aforementioned defects to be rectified before the next class
134 drydocking survey, the Sellers shall be entitled to deliver the Vessel with these defects
135 against a deduction from the Purchase Price of the estimated direct cost (of labour and

137 whereafter the Buyers shall have no further rights whatsoever in respect of the defects
138 and/or repairs. The estimated direct cost of the repairs shall be the average of quotes

141 Banking Days from the date of the imposition of the condition/recommendation, unless
142 the Parties agree otherwise. Should either of the Parties fail to obtain such a quote within
143 the stipulated time then the quote duly obtained by the other Party shall be the sole basis
144 for the estimate of the direct repair costs. The Sellers may not tender Notice of
145 Readiness prior to such estimate having been established.

 

146 (iii) If the Vessel is to be drydocked pursuant to Clause 6(a)(ii) and no suitable dry-docking
147 facilities are available at the port of delivery, the Sellers shall take the Vessel to a port
148 where suitable drydocking facilities are available, whether within or outside the delivery
149 range as per Clause 5(a). Once drydocking has taken place the Sellers shall deliver the
150 Vessel at a port within the delivery range as per Clause 5(a) which shall, for the purpose
151 of this Clause, become the new port of delivery. In such event the Cancelling Date shall
152 be extended by the additional time required for the drydocking and extra steaming, but
153 limited to a maximum of fourteen (14) days.

 

154 (b)* The Sellers shall place the Vessel in drydock at the port of delivery for inspection by the
155 Classification Society of the Vessel’s underwater parts below the deepest load line, the extent
156 of the inspection being in accordance with the Classification Society’s rules. If the rudder,
157 propeller, bottom or other underwater parts below the deepest load line are found broken,
158 damaged or defective so as to affect the Vessel’s class, such defects shall be made good at the
159 Sellers’ cost and expense to the satisfaction of the Classification Society without
160 condition/recommendation**. In such event the Sellers are also to pay for the costs and
161 expenses in connection with putting the Vessel in and taking her out of drydock, including the
162 drydock dues and the Classification Society’s fees. The Sellers shall also pay for these costs
163 and expenses if parts of the tailshaft system are condemned or found defective or broken so as
164 to affect the Vessel’s class. In all other cases, the Buyers shall pay the aforesaid costs and
165 expenses, dues and fees.

 

166 (c) If the Vessel is drydocked pursuant to Clause 6 (a)(ii) or 6 (b) above:

 

167 (i) The Classification Society may require survey of the tailshaft system, the extent of the
168 survey being to the satisfaction of the Classification surveyor. If such survey is
169 not required by the Classification Society, the Buyers shall have the option to require the
170 tailshaft to be drawn and surveyed by the Classification Society, the extent of the survey
171 being in accordance with the Classification Society’s rules for tailshaft survey and
172 consistent with the current stage of the Vessel’s survey cycle. The Buyers shall declare
173 whether they require the tailshaft to be drawn and surveyed not later than by the

174 completion of the inspection by the Classification Society. The drawing and refitting of
175 the tailshaft shall be arranged by the Sellers. Should any parts of the tailshaft system be
176 condemned or found defective so as to affect the Vessel’s class, those parts shall be
177 renewed or made good at the Sellers’ cost and expense to the satisfaction of
178 Classification Society without condition/recommendation**.

 

179 (ii) The costs and expenses relating to the survey of the tailshaft system shall be borne by
180 the Buyers unless the Classification Society requires such survey to be carried out or if
181 parts of the system are condemned or found defective or broken so as to affect the
182 Vessel’s class, in which case the Sellers shall pay these costs and expenses.

 

183 (iii) The Buyers’ representative(s) shall have the right to be present in the drydock, as
184 observer(s) only without interfering with the work or decisions of the Classification
185 Society surveyor.

 

186 (iv) The Buyers shall have the right to have the underwater parts of the Vessel cleaned

187 and painted at their risk, cost and expense without interfering with the Sellers’ or the
188 Classification Society surveyor’s work, if any, and without affecting the Vessel’s timely
189 delivery. If, however, the Buyers’ work in drydock is still in progress when the

 

190 Sellers have completed the work which the Sellers are required to do, the additional
191 docking time needed to complete the Buyers’ work shall be for the Buyers’ risk, cost and
192 expense. In the event that the Buyers’ work requires such additional time, the Sellers
193 may upon completion of the Sellers’ work tender Notice of Readiness for delivery whilst
194 the Vessel is still in drydock and, notwithstanding Clause 5(a), the Buyers shall be
195 obliged to take delivery in accordance with Clause 3 (Payment), whether the Vessel is in
196 drydock or not.

The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the London Maritime Arbitrators Association (“LMAA”) Terms current at the time when the arbitration proceedings are commenced.

 

(c) The reference shall be to three (3) arbitrators, one to be appointed by each Party and the third, by the two so appointed. A Party wishing to refer a Dispute to arbitration shall appoint its arbitrator (who shall be either a full member of the LMAA, or a practising barrister of King’s Counsel who is also a member of the Commercial Bar Association, or a retired High Court Judge practising as an arbitrator, in each case who carries on business in London) and shall send notice of such appointment in writing to the other Party requiring the other Party to appoint its own arbitrator within fourteen (14) calendar days of that notice and stating that it will appoint its arbitrator as sole arbitrator unless the other Party appoints its own arbitrator and give notice that it has done so within the fourteen (14) days specified. If the other Party does not appoint its own arbitrator and give notice that it has done so within the fourteen (14) days specified, the Party referring a Dispute to arbitration may, without the requirement of any further prior notice to the other Party, appoint its arbitrator as sole arbitrator and shall advise the other Party accordingly. The award of a sole arbitrator shall be binding on both Parties as if he or she had been appointed by agreement. Nothing herein shall prevent the Parties agreeing in writing to vary these provisions to provide for the appointment of a sole arbitrator. If the two arbitrators so appointed are unable to agree on the appointment of the third arbitrator within seven (7) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator, they or either of them may by written notice request the President of the LMAA to appoint the third arbitrator within fourteen (14) days of such request.
