租约条款争议

您好,纠纷如下:
     我司TC 船A(集装箱船做班轮运输) ,在越南HCM 装货完毕离泊上引水时与当地一驳船B发生碰撞,B沉没,随即A被当局扣留在HCM锚地协助调查事故原因。我司即事故发生时刻起向船东宣布OFF-HIRE。经过10天左右的处理,船东仍无法和越南当局达成协议释放A船,考虑到船上仍载有货物,我司决定要求A船靠HCM先行卸下留存货后另外安排船舶C绕航加挂HCM来转运这些货物。 问题由此产生,租约中涉及OFF-HIRE & CANCEL C/P 的条约如下
Clause 64. CONSECUTIVE OFF-HIRE
During the currency of this Charter, should the vessel be off-hire for a continuous period of more than 21 consecutive days, Charterers have the liberty of canceling this Charter Party provided the Vessel is empty. Also if any time during the currency of this Charter Party the vessel is requisitioned by any government for minimum 21 running days, the Charterers to have option to cancel the remaining period of this Charter Party after discharging all cargoes.

由于A船久久不能得到放行,事故至今已经超过21天,我司要求按照CL64 解除租约,但是船东以我们中途靠泊卸货为由提出21天OFF-HIRE因卸货中断,需要从卸货完毕开始从新计算,双方为此僵持不下……预计如果按照卸货完毕来计算的话,可能在21天内 A船会被release,但我们不想要这条船了,还希望船东承担我们的转运费用和绕航费用。

    不知道上述情况究竟能否得到法律支持呢,香港仲裁 英国法。
