BERTHING AND DISCHARGE Clause Samples

The 'Berthing and Discharge' clause defines the responsibilities and procedures related to the arrival of a vessel at a port and the unloading of its cargo. It typically outlines who is responsible for securing a suitable berth, the conditions under which the vessel must be ready to discharge, and the process for coordinating with port authorities or terminal operators. For example, the clause may specify timeframes for berthing, requirements for safe access, and allocation of costs or risks associated with delays. Its core practical function is to ensure a clear and efficient process for berthing and cargo discharge, minimizing disputes and delays between the parties involved.
