Upon completion of discharge of each cargo, the crew shall render customary assistance in cleaning all cargo compartments in preparation for the next cargo, if required by the Charterers and if not prevented by any regulations or agreement whatsoever. Such cleaning work shall be performed while the Vessel is en route to next loading port, provided that this can be safely done and that the duration of voyage is sufficient.
