The webinar intends to serve as a quick, practical guideline to laytime exceptions. Main principles, scope and applicability of exception clauses will be discussed with a special focus on weather exceptions.
Whether laytime can be suspended during a certain event or a period is amongst the most discussed topics where owners and charterers often can’t see eye to eye. Some of the questions to be answered in this webinar, which can lay the groundwork for solving many laytime disputes, will be:
- Is there a difference between exceptions and interruptions to laytime?
- What are the three principles to keep in mind when it comes to laytime exceptions?
- Can laytime exceptions also apply to time on demurrage?
