Scope of owners’ obligation to proceed to load port with utmost despatch

By Jonathan Elvey and Despina Plomaritou

"This case develops the position with regard to rights of cancellation and to the effect of an ETA for the purpose of identifying the starting time of an owner’s obligation to commence the approach voyage. It is not yet known if the case will go to appeal, but meanwhile we would recommend that, to avoid complications in similar cases, it is advisable for parties to ensure that they draft their contracts with sufficient clarity to achieve the desired result – and, in particular, in this context, to make explicit reference to the expected time of arrival."
