Ship Requirements Sample Clauses
The Ship Requirements clause defines the specific standards and conditions that a vessel must meet to be considered suitable for a particular charter or shipping contract. This typically includes details such as the vessel's age, class, tonnage, equipment, and compliance with safety and regulatory certifications. For example, it may require the ship to be ice-classed for Arctic routes or to have certain cargo-handling gear. The core function of this clause is to ensure that only vessels meeting agreed-upon criteria are used, thereby minimizing operational risks and ensuring the safe and efficient transport of cargo.
Ship Requirements. The ship shall meet all relevant legislation and all load and discharge port regulations and safety standards, and shall comply with the requirements of the International Code for the Security of Ships and of Port Facilities (ISPS Code). If the ship does not meet all such requirements, or is deemed unsafe, then the ship may be refused. The Party nominating the ship shall be liable for all damages (consequential damage is excluded) and costs resulting from the non-compliance with this article. A ship may not be substituted without written consent of the other Party.
