Panamerican Tankers, Inc. v. Blystad Shipping (USA), Inc. and Pasternak, Baum & Co., Inc. (The “Diamond Star”) – SMA No. 3396, 12 Dec 1997

VEGOILVOY -- DEMURRAGE -- DISPORT -- PART CARGO -- PIPELINES -- Owner Award The Vessel accrued demurrage at disport because of difficulties discharging a part cargo of semi-refined fish oil. The Owner blamed the Charterers’ cargo for the delay on the grounds that lines connected to the fish oil’s tanks were backed up with sludge and particles while other part cargoes were discharged without delay.
