Dear MR. Yang,
Supposing at nype 46 and no other amend terms................if gear breakdown at loading port and then charterer arranged shore crane to load, can charterer deduct the shore crane fee immediately from the next hire payment?
in practical , seems charterers always deduct cost of hiring cranes from hire
in theory, the simple nype form is not detailed enough in clause 15 and 22 to cover the issue, a gear breakdown clause should be covered by a rider clause agreed by the parties.
I tried to find answer from your excellent book " time charter" but failed.
Thus, can shore crance charge offset hire immediately from next hire payment?
By the way, many thanks for your great contribution to maritime, both practial and knowledge.
Best regards
