	On each occasion owners shall propose to charterers update on which they wish to dried up the vessel, not less than 90 60 days before such date, and charterers shall offer  a port for such periodical try talking and she'll take all reasonable steps to make the vessel available as near to such date as practicable.
	Owners shall put the vessel in dry dock at their expense as soon as practicable after charterers placed the vessel at owner's disposal clear of cargo and cargo slops other than tank washings and residues, owner shall be responsible for and pay for the disposal into reception facilities of such tank washings and residues and shall have the right to retain any monies received therefor, without prejudice to any claims for loss of cargo under any Bill of Lading or this charter.
(b)	If a periodical drydocking is carried out in the port offered by charterers (which must have suitable accommodation for the purpose and reception facilities for tank washings and residues), the vessel shall be off-hire from the time she arrives at such port until drydocking is completed and she is in every way ready to resume charterers service and is at the position at which she went off-hire or a position at no less favourable to charterers, whichever she first attains. However,

(i)	provided that owner exercise due diligence in gas-freeing, anytime lost in gas-freeing to the standard required for entry into dry dock for cleaning and painting at the hull shall not count as off-hire, whether lost on passage to the dry docking port or after arrival there (notwithstanding Clause 21), and
(ii)	any additional time lost in further gas-freeing to meet the standard required for hot work or entry to cargo tanks shall count as off-hire, whether lost on passage to the drydocking port or after arrival there.

(c) If Owners require the vessel, instead of proceeding to the offered ports, to carry out periodical drydocking at a special port selected by them, the vessel shall be off higher from the time when she is released to proceeds to the special port until she next presents for loading in accordance with charterers instructions, provided, however, that charterers shall credit owners with the time which would have been taken on passage at the service speed had the vessel not proceeded to drydock.  all feel consumed shall be paid for by owners but Charterers shall credit owners what's the value of the fuel which would have been used on such national passage calculated out of the guaranteed daily consumption for the service speed, and shall further credit Owners with any benefit to making and purchasing bunkers at the special port.

10

(d) Charterers shall, insofar as cleaning for periodical drydocking may have reduced the amount of tank-cleaning necessary to meet charterers requirements, credit owners with the value of any bunkers which Charterers calculate to have been saved thereby, whether the vessel dry docks as an offered or special port.

__________	__________/__________	__________/__________
__________	__________/__________	__________/__________
Ballast	__________/__________	__________/__________
__________	__________/__________	__________/__________
__________	__________/__________	__________/__________

PER VESSEL DESCRIPTION PROVIDED FOR EACH SHIP

S/c as per attached (ABOVE) which includes consumption for scrubber.

Owner will guarantee consumptions as per attached for 13 knots laden and ballast AND 12.5 + 13.5 KTS LADEN AND BALLAST. 

FOLLOWING TO APPLY TO FIGURES IN CONSUMPTION TABLES:

All speed/consumption figures (12.5, 13, 13.5) are to be considered as WARRANTED FIGURES but about (+/- 0.5 knot for speed and +/- 5% for consumption) and always subject to no MORE THAN 0.5 KTS adverse currents mas up to and including Beaufort force 4 and max sea state Douglas 3.

11

(ie delete reference to no swell, no adverse currents and delete “good weather and smooth seas” from table as these parameters are already defined as up to and including a bf4 and DSS3 and max 0.5kts adverse currents)

The average speeds on bunker consumptions shall for the purposes of this Clause 24 be calculated by reference to the observed distance from pilot station to pilot station fill away on sea passage (FAOSP) till end of sea passage (EOSP) on all sea passages over 2 four hours during each. Stipulated and Clause 24(c), but excluding anytime during which the vessel is or but for Clause 22(b)(i) would be off-hire and also excluding adverse weather periods, being (i) any periods during which reduction of speed as necessary for safety and congested waters or in poor visibility and/or transitioning canals, and/or when complying with slow steaming instructions that may have been assured by charterers (ii) any days, noon to noon, when winds exceed force 8 4 on the Beaufort scale for more than 12 hours.

(i)	From a reduction in the average speed of the vessel, compared to the speed guaranteed and close to 4A then an amount equal to the value at the hire rate of that I'm so lostor gained, as the case may be, shall be deducted fromor added to the hire paid;
(ii)	from an increase in the total bunkers consumed, compared to the total bunkers which would have been consumed had the vessel performed as guaranteed in Clause 24 (a), an amount equivalent to the value of the additional bunkers consumed based on the average price paid by charterers for the vessel’s bunkers in such period, shall be deducted from the hire paid.
	The deduction from hire so calculated for laden and ballast mileage respectively shall be adjusted to take into account the mileage steamed and each such condition during Adverse Weather Periods, by dividing such deduction by the number of miles over which the Performance has been calculated and multiplying by the same number of miles plus the mile steamed during the adverse weather periods, and order to establish the total addition to or deduction from a higher to be made for such period.  Any over performance to be credited against any underperformance if any.

	And shall be pro-rated between the speeds shown.
	The service speed of the vessel is 13.0 knots laden and 13 13.5 knots in ballast and in the absence of Charterers' orders to the contrary the vessel shall proceed at the service speed.  However if more than one laden and one ballast speed are shown in the table above Charterers shall have the right to order the vessel to steam at any speed within the range set out in the table (the "ordered speed").
	If the vessel is ordered to proceed at any speed other than the highest speed shown in the table, and the average speed actually attained by the vessel during the currency off such order exceeds such ordered speed plus 0.5 knots (the "maximum speed" at any time shall be the then current ordered speed or the service speed, as the case may be.
	The average speeds and bunker consumption shall for the purposes of this Clause 24 be.calculated by reference to the observed distance from pilot station to pilot station on all sea passages during each period stipulzted in Clause 24 (e). but excluding any time which the vessel is (orbut for Clause 22(b) (i) would be ) off-hire and also excluding "Adverse Weather Periods", being:

12

(i)	any periods during which reduction of speed is necessary for safety in congested waters or in poor visability
(ii)	any days, noon to noon, when winds exceed force 8 on the Beautfort Scale for more than 12 hours.

(c) If during any year from the date on which the vessel enters service (anniversary to anniversary) the vessel falls below or exceeds the performance guaranteed in Clause 24(a) then if such shortfall or excess results:

(i)

from a reduction or an increase in the average speed of the vesse;, compared to the speed guaranteed in Clause 24(a), then an amount equal to the value at the hire rate of the time so lost or gained, as the ease may be, shall be included in the performance calculation;

(ii)

from an increase or a decrease in the total bunkers consumed, compared to the total bunkers which would have been consumed had the vessel performed as guaranteed in Clause 24(a), an amount equivalent to the value of the additional bunkers consumed or the bunkers saved, as the case may be, based on the average price paid by Charterers for the vessel's bunkers in such period, shall be included in the performance calculation.

The results of the performance calculation for laden and ballast milease respectively shall be adjusted to take into account the mileage steamed in such condition during Adverse Weather Periods, by dividing such addition or deduction by the number of miles over which the Performance has been calculated and multiplying by the same number of miles plus the miles steamed during the Averse Weather Periods, in order to establish the total performance Calculation for such period,

Reduction of hire under the foregoing sub-Clause (b) shall be without prejudice to any other remedy available to Charterers.

(d)
