Ship
Broker
Both time charters and voyages
charters entered into after 1 July 2004 will contain clauses which
address the ISPS Code. The BIMCO has published ISPS clauses for both
voyages and time charter parties, which in essence provide that all
delays, costs or expenses which result from the ship not being ISPS
compliant will be for the owners account. Delays, costs or expenses
which results from the port facility not being ISPS compliant will
be for charterers account, unless caused by the owners negligence.
There is also a separate security clause for voyages charters
involving calls at ports in United States. It is strongly
recommended that brokers familiarise themselves with these clauses
which can be found on BIMCOs website, www.bimco.bk . Intertanko has
also produced a clause for time charters, and the club has also been
informed that some major charteres such as Cargill and ExxonMobil,
are formulating their own clauses. In such cases it is important
that the broker brings their usage to the attention of his
principal(s).
At this stage, it seems to be the
general understanding that the ISPS Code has had fewer implications
for shipping intermediaries, such as ship-agents and shipbrokers,
than was predicted. However, in order to minimize exposure to
potential claims that the intermediary has caused or contributed to
losses to principals, it is or paramount importance that a
ship-agent knows the legal framework in which he operates and for a
broker to ensure that the appropriate clauses are incorporated into
charter parties.
