Notice of Readiness may only be given from Monday to Friday, except holidays at the loading port, between 0900 hours and 1700 hours local time. Notice of Readiness may be given whether in berth or not provided that the vessel is ready in all respects. The Sellers may give orders for a loading berth after receiving notice of the vessel's arrival in the Port. At the first Port the time for loading starts to count 24 hours after the receipt of a valid Notice of Readiness save that time will not start to count before the commencement of the Delivery Period unless actual loading commences in which case time starts to count from commencement of loading. Notice of Readiness is only to be given at the first loading port or place. If the loading berth is occupied on the vessel's arrival at or off the first loading port (or so near as the vessel is permitted to approach), the master will be entitled to give Notice of Readiness upon arrival at the port or waiting place. If so, laytime counts as if the vessel was in berth and in all respects ready for loading. Time spent moving from the waiting place to the loading berth is not to count as laytime or demurrage, even if on demurrage. A Notice of Readiness is invalid if the vessel is not, at the time a Notice of Readiness is given, in fact ready in all respects. If an invalid Notice of Readiness is given, a fresh valid Notice of Readiness must be given by the master when the vessel is in fact ready in all respects and laytime does not begin to count until 24 hours after a fresh valid Notice of Readiness has been received. Any further Notice of Readiness must comply with the procedures set out in above clause. At the second or subsequent loading port (if any) the time for loading is to count from 1200 hours on the day of arrival at the port (or so near as the vessel is permitted to approach if the vessel arrives before 1200 hours), and from 0900 hours on the following day if the vessel arrives at or after 1200 hours, unless loading is commenced earlier, in which case the time is to count from the commencement of loading. In either case, time only so commences if on arrival the vessel is in fact ready in all respects. In the case of multiple loading ports, time changing ports is not to count as laytime or demurrage, even if on demurrage. Time changing ports means time from the completion of loading at a port, time sailing from a port to the next loading port, and until laytime starts to count again as per above clause. If separations are required the cost of such separations must be paid by the Buyers. The Sellers may send the cargo alongside continuously (Saturday, Sundays and holidays included) and if the Sellers so direct the Buyers must procure that the vessel loads continuously (Saturdays, Sundays and holidays included). All overtime costs incurred through working outside customary port working hours must be paid by the party ordering that working, except officers' and /or crew's overtime which are always for the Buyers account. Should the Buyers nominated Xxxxxx(s) fail to present valid notice of readiness to load within the Delivery Period, the Sellers may at their option declare the Buyers in default and claim damages for costs directly incurred as a result of the buyers default or in their absolute discretion affirm this contract or the Sellers may carry the goods for the Buyers’ account at the rate for storage, interest and insurance current at the time of the Vessel's presentation.
