TURN AROUND - DETAINED Sample Clauses

The "Turn Around - Detained" clause establishes the procedures and responsibilities when a vessel is unable to discharge its cargo at the intended port and is subsequently detained. In practice, this clause typically outlines the conditions under which the vessel may be required to wait, the allocation of costs such as demurrage or detention fees, and the obligations of both the shipowner and charterer during the period of delay. Its core function is to clarify the parties' rights and liabilities in situations where cargo discharge is delayed due to circumstances beyond the vessel's control, thereby reducing disputes and ensuring operational certainty.
