Interchem 2000 Logistics BV v. Suffolk Tankers Co. Ltd. (The “Rachel B”) – SMA No. 3920, 12 Apr 2006

BURDEN OF PROOF -- SEAWORTHY -- BARGING COSTS -- STORAGE FEES -- THROUGHPUT CHARGES -- Partial Owner Award The Charterers sought arbitration for additional barging costs, storage fees, and throughput charges because of Owner's failure to provide a seaworthy vessel. Such charges, however, require the Charterers to support their claim with ample evidence.
