IISTL member Professor Simon Baughen will be presenting a paper “LEGAL ISSUES OF DEMURRAGE AND PUMPING WARRANTIES” at Asdem’s 14th International Oil Industry Laytime and Demurrage Conference on 16/17 May at the Le Meridien Piccadilly Hotel in London.
Pumping warranties are the norm in tanker charters and apply a separate laytime and demurrage regime to the period of discharge, and sometimes to the period of loading as well. They have also generated many disputes between owners and charterers as to how this separate regime operates and how it fits in with the demurrage time bar clauses that are invariably found in tanker charters. Professor Baughen will be looking at the pumping clauses found in oil charterparties from the wide range of additional clauses that are necessary for Asbatankvoy to the standard warranties in widely used modern forms and examining the legal issues they give rise to.
The full speaker line-up and topic list for this event, can be found in Asdem’s brochure which you can download by clicking here.
