HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLE OF LAYTIME CALCULATION

Example $1$

The charter party contains the following conditions for loading:

The cargo to be loaded at a rate of $1500$ tonnes per weather working day, Sundays and

holidays excepted. Time shall not count between $1$ p$.$m$.$ on Saturday and $7$ a$.$m$.$ on Monday, nor

between $1$ p$.$m$.$ on the last working day preceding a legal holiday and $7a.m.$ on the first working

day thereafter. Time for loading shall commence to count $24$ hours after written notice has been

given by the master or agents on any day $($Sundays and holidays excepted$)$ between $9$ a$.$m$.$ and $5$

p$.$m$.$ to the charterers or their agents that the vessel is ready to receive cargo, whether in berth or

not.

Demurrage $$840\mathrm{.}00$ per day and pro$-$rated for part of a day.

Dispatch money $$420\mathrm{.}00$ per day and pro$-$rated, for all time saved in loading.

In this sample, we see how the timesheet looks if ss Jenni finishes loading on March $19,$

several days after the expiry of the agreed lay time. In this case, demurrage is due to the ship

owners to compensate them for the delay. The amount to be paid by the charterers is calculated

as shown in Table $4-5.$

Note that unless the legal phrase "per like day" is included in the demurrage condition,

once a vessel is on demurrage, Sundays and holidays count regardless of whether or not they are

excepted in the loading rate condition.
