This decision was quite divisive and clearly contradicts what the ID intended to do in the development of the 2011 revision. Two subsequent arbitrations on this particular point did not follow the previous decision, so the case is undecided. Once again, clubs try to be pragmatic in this regard and generally recommend to their members that when a charter party has an ICA clause, it should be considered to involve the entire ICA, including safety and scheduling rules. However, the text of the specific charter party must naturally be taken into account, so that each case must be assessed on its individual merits. The arbitrator found that our policyholders were entitled to compensation. The decision is unusual, not least because it is rare for a freight allowance to be awarded as part of a travel charter. The massive distribution of a well-known shipowner and operator has chartered a large ore to transport a cargo of iron ore from southern Africa to Western Europe. This ship belonged to a company in the Far East. It failed during the trip in a difficult weather but not exceptional. All the cargo was lost with the ship.

The total loss of a vessel often raises questions about its airworthiness, and this case was no different. All indications are that this was a matter that was dealt with preferably directly by the shipowners with the complainants. (7) The amount of a freight duty attributable under this agreement is the amount that is actually borne by the part of the charterer seeking a distribution, whether that debt may or may have been distributed among another charter party by application of this agreement. The shipowners have been registered with one of the clubs of the International Group, which is headquartered in London. Unfortunately, according to the association in question, the owners would not have purchased cover for the debts of charge. In fact, the owners did not have such insurance. The time charters were registered with Assuranceforeningen Gard, to which they had purchased frachtliability cover. (ii) which would have been approved by the charter, but for the inclusion in this transport contract of provisions relating to transport by or by combined means of transport, to the extent that the observations: this clause requires little explanation; the ICA is governed by English law, unless the charter party parties otherwise agree by applying another law and jurisdiction to the charterer. However, the charter does not involve such tacit compensation, since the vessel is in fixed transit and is not under the general control of the charterer. Charter Travel also does not usually contain the interclub agreement or an explicit appointment that redistributed the load responsibility. Some travel charters contain provisions of the Hague or Hague-Visby rules, but such rules allow a charterer to assert rights on cargo charges against an owner, not the other way around.

Many arbitration procedures have been decided on a word, phrase or phrase in a clause of the contract. For a charterer and a shipowner, the conditions of the charter party are therefore at least as important as the conditions of the bill of lading. Unfortunately, some of the charter parties who see Gard services contain clauses purportedly relating to the liability of cargo requests which, at best, appear to have been assumed literally by another form of charter to which they were better equipped or, in the worst case, in total contradiction with another part of the contract. The boat was shipped in July 2012 to Santos, Brazil, to be shipped to Guangzhou, China. There were some damaged and blackened beans in the load due to the silo fire in Santos.
