ASVTIME is a time charter party for accommodation support vessels (ASVs) engaged in the offshore oil and gas and renewables sectors.
The charter party is based on SUPPLYTIME 2017 and operates on a knock for knock liability regime, which means that each party agrees to bear responsibility for and indemnify the other in respect of loss of or damage to their own property, and injury to or death of their own personnel, regardless of fault. ASVTIME incorporates several features from WINDTIME, including a contractual limitation of liability. Tailormade provisions have been introduced catering for the specificities of the ASV sector, such as provisions dealing with optional equipment, parallel operations and offshore bunkering of crew transfer vessels.
The latest edition of this contract is ASVTIME, issued in 2021.
