Regulation on lay time
- According to GENCON contract:
- Commencement of laytime: depend on the moment that NOR (Notice of readiness) is tendered or tendered and accepted
+ If NOR was tendered before or at 12:00 a.m, time is counted from 1:00 p.m
+ If NOR was tendered after 12:00 a.m, time is counted from 6:00 a.m of the following day
The fine is often paid by the charterer to the ship owner as the former wants to use the ship for longer than decided time (Demurrage). However, if the charterer requires less than the defined lay time, It is the ship owner’s duty to pay to the charterer (Despatch money). These terms are pre-defined by the charter party dealing with the whole process.
