A cracking good claim

A naval architect was engaged by a customer to design a 24m catamaran to service the offshore oil and gas industry. During sea trials following construction of the vessel and after delivery to the client, significant vibration was apparent in the vessel’s rudders.

A claim quickly despatched

A shipbroker regularly acted for the same charterers in a particular trade where it was customary to agree to “half despatch”. This is essentially a charge that the charterer gets from the owner if they conclude operations with the ship faster than the allotted time they have been given. It is in effect the opposite of paying demurrage. The rate is usually half of the demurrage rate – hence “half despatch”.
