Chembulk Trading, Inc. v. Jo Tankers, BV (The “Chembulk Singapore”) – SMA No. 3531, 13 Apr 1999

MOBILVOY 96 -- PART CARGO -- DEADFREIGHT -- CARGO -- Partial Owner Award The Charterers refused to load their decene part cargo because of excess temperature inflowing from adjacent heating tanks. The Owners subsequently filed for deadfreight damages and claimed that the Charterers had allowed cargo loading in a similar case a year earlier. The Charterers, however, denied payment because of the Owner’s failure to provide "a suitable safe space for the cargo."
