Discharging Berth Clause Samples
The Discharging Berth clause defines the specific location within a port where a vessel will unload its cargo. It typically outlines the responsibilities for selecting and providing a safe and accessible berth, often placing this obligation on the charterer or port authority. For example, the clause may specify that the vessel must be able to approach, berth, and discharge without undue delay or risk. Its core practical function is to ensure clarity and allocate responsibility for berth arrangements, thereby minimizing disputes and delays during the cargo discharge process.
