London Arbitration 7/10

NYPE -- CLEANLINESS OF HOLDS -- VESSEL FIT FOR SERVICE -- OFF-HIRE -- Owner Award The Vessel was approved for the first voyage under a time charter and carried out the first voyage without incident. Prior to the second voyage, the holds were rejected due to stains from a cargo carried just prior to the commencement of the time charter. After five days of cleaning, the holds were approved. In dispute is Charterer's claim for off-hire and expenses during the cleaning.
