The issue in this arbitration concerned the calculation of demurrage. Owners claimed demurrage US$181,057.20. Charterers denied the full amount but admitted to a lesser amount of US$88,538.44. However, the Charterers made no payment.  Consequently, the dispute was referred to arbitration in London. Charterers failed to comply with a peremptory order and the tribunal, consisting of two LMAA Arbitrators, had therefore to determine the issue on the evidence put before them. The tribunal compared the owner's and charterers' laytime calculations and found mainly some differences in the rain periods ( charterers excluded rain period while on demurrage) and periods of strike. After careful consideration, the tribunal upheld the owners; calculations and awarded them the full amount, together with interest and costs.

Professional engineers and land surveyors employed by the Ontario Public Service (OPS) are set to initiate legal strike action for the first time in their bargaining association’s 35-year history, following 20 months without a contract. The Professional Engineers Government Of Ontario (PEGO), which represents these professionals, announced the strike would begin on October 8, citing prolonged negotiations with the Treasury Board of Ontario that have yet to yield a fair offer in its opinion. PEGO President Nihar Bhatt, P.Eng., expressed frustration over the lengthy negotiations, pointing to the exodus of engineers and surveyors from the public service due to higher salaries in other sectors. “We are engineers and surveyors; we want to be building. We want to support Ontario’s ambitious infrastructure agenda, but adequate engineering resources need to be available to deliver on it,” said Bhatt.
