Abstract

Laytime and demurrage clauses are commonplace in shipping contracts. However, how should they be construed and enforced as between a buyer and seller of goods (as opposed to between a carrier and cargo interest) when they are referred to or incorporated in a sale of goods contract? This article examines the arbitral practice and approach in New York and compares it to English judicial practice and precedent, highlighting in particular the legal and commercial context in both jurisdictions.

Keywords: shipping, charterparties, international sale, demurrage, laytime
