Commercial Maritime Law

1. The charterer shall return the vessel at the end of the charterparty term in the same condition it was received, with allowance for normal wear and tear. The vessel shall be returned to the port in which it was delivered, unless agreed otherwise. 2. The charterer shall return the supplies that were on board the vessel in the same condition they were in at the time the vessel was received. If the supplies are consumable, they shall be replenished. 3. In the event of delay in returning the vessel by reason attributable to the charterer, the charterer shall pay an amount equal to the hire for the first 15 days, and shall pay an amount double the hire for the extra days of delay, unless the lessor proves the damage exceeds such amount.
