  • Frequently Overlooked Risk Management Issues in Contracts of Affreightment and Sale Contracts
    Frequently overlooked risk management issues in contracts of affreightment and sale contracts 2021 AMPLA Queensland Conference Chris Keane MinterEllison 18 June 2021 The focus of today’s presentation - risk associated with two contracts used to facilitate the export of Australian commodities: . the sale contract / offtake agreement / supply agreement (sale contract) . the contract of affreightment / voyage charterparty / bill of lading (sea carriage contract) Specific focus is on risk and risk mitigation options that are frequently overlooked (both at the time of contract formation and also when disputes arise) 2 Risk arising out of seemingly straightforward issues . Duration of the sale contract - overarching issue that impacts on many other considerations; legal and commercial considerations will overlap . Port(s) of loading and port(s) of discharge - relevant considerations include: access to certain berths; special arrangements regarding loading and unloading; port congestion and other factors likely to cause delay; and the desirability of not requiring a CIF buyer to nominate a specific port of unloading (e.g. “one safe port and one safe berth at any main port(s) in China…”) . Selection of vessel - risk will depend on which party to the sale contract is responsible for arranging the vessel; CIF sellers need to guard against the risk of selecting an unsuitable vessel; FOB sellers need to ensure they have a right to reject an unsuitable vessel nominated by the buyer 3 Risk arising out of seemingly straightforward issues . Selection of contractual carrier - needs to be considered as an issue separate from the selection of the vessel; what do you know (and not know) about the carrier?; note the difficulties the contractual carrier caused for both the seller and buyer in relation to the ‘Maryam’ at Port Kembla earlier this year; proper due diligence is critical; consider (among other things) compliance with anti-slavery, anti-bribery and sanctions laws and issues concerning care of seafarers, safety and environment .

  • Cargo Liens for Unpaid Hire and Freight Due Under a Time Or Voyage Charterparty
    Cargo liens for unpaid hire and freight due under a time or voyage charterparty During periods in which the global shipping economy is volatile, the likelihood of unpaid freight or hire occurs with higher frequency. Recently, the Club has witnessed charterers facing difficulty in meeting their obligation to pay freight due under a charterparty. In such circumstances, the shipowner may want to know if he is able to exercise a lien on the cargo until he has been paid the freight or hire due under the charterer. There must be a right of lien in the charterparty By Gho Sze Kee, Deputy Claims Manager The shipowner needs to determine if the charterparty will grant him a possessory lien over the cargo for the unpaid freight and As such, where the bill of lading incorporates a lien clause for unpaid hire. The more clearly a lien clause is drafted, the easier it is for the hire (as opposed to freight), the shipowners then has a right under shipowner to determine the scope of the lien clause and therefore the bill of lading to lien the cargo regardless of whether it is owned exercise his possessory lien for the unpaid freight or hire. by the charterers. Examples of widely drafted lien clauses that extend to and protect the shipowners right to lien, are clause 8 of GENCON 1994 Clause 1 of CONGENBILL All terms and conditions, liberties and exceptions of the Charter charterparty and clause 23 of NYPE 93. Party, dated as overleaf, including the Law and Arbitration Only when hire or freight under a charterparty becomes ‘due’ and Clause, are herewith incorporated.
