Stolt Tankers, Inc. v. Stinnes Interoil, Inc. (The “Stolt Pride”) – SMA No. 3647, 20 Oct 2000

EXXONVOY 90 -- ARBITRATION -- DEMURRAGE -- TIME-BAR -- CHARTER PARTY -- Charterer Award In this case, the Owner began arbitration to recover a demurrage claim that was allegedly time-barred. The charter party stipulates that a notice must be submitted within ninety days of discharge completion, followed by all supporting evidence within 150 days of discharge. The notice and full claim were received on the ninety-first day, which the Owners contend satisfies the charter.
