The client's contract contained conflicting provisions regarding the terms and conditions of cargo discharge. Protecting the charterer's interests required applying statutory and court-established methods of contract interpretation.

As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the shipowner had included time in the calculation that should not have been counted, while the charterer had completed the unloading operations within the timeframe stipulated in the contract.

The arbitrators dismissed the claim, thereby releasing the charterer from the alleged liabilities and awarding compensation for legal expenses incurred.
