The aim for the new clause is that it will be suitable for, and applicable to, both future diseases, epidemics and pandemics and will also find an appropriate balance between the interests of owners and charterers. The BIMCO documentary subcommittee feel that charterers are usually unwilling to agree the existing clauses which give owners considerable powers to refuse charterers’ orders. They hope that the new clauses will balance the key concern of preventing seafarers from being exposed to serious illnesses with charterers’ right to give orders to trade and make commercial use of the vessel.
