Krupp Seeschiffahrt Gmbh v. Bayoil Supply & Trading Lt. (The “Ruhr Ore”) – SMA No. 3504, 15 Jan 1999

ASBATANKVOY -- DEMURRAGE -- USCG -- OFF-HIRE -- BREAKDOWN -- Owner Award Although the Charterers paid a majority of the demurrage claim, they refused to consider the two USCG-mandated 6H "crew rest periods" as demurrage. The Charterers argued that these rest periods are comparable to a Vessel “breakdown,” and as such, would render the Vessel off-hire and be for the Owners’ account.
