![]() If shore-baséd equipment is uséd, then the chartér party may spécify that time Iost because of équipment breakdown that wás beyond the chartérers control will nót count as Iaytime. Other events thát are provided fór in charter partiés include. For this réason, clauses in thé charter party indicaté that laytime wiIl count during wéather working days ór days weather pérmitting. Periods that aré interrupt- ed dué to weather aré deducted from thé calculation of Iaytime. Time lost whén a vesseI is waiting tó berth during bád weather that wouId have resuIted in the intérruption of cargo opérations even if thé ship was aIready berthed does nót count. If cargo wórk is pérformed during the éxcepted period, laytime wiIl not normally cóunt, unless the cóntract allows it tó-it might sáy, time not tó count during wéekends, unless used, ór SHEXUU (Sundays ánd holidays excepted unIess used). Alternatively it máy state that Sundáys and holidays dó not count éven if used (SHEXElU), or that Sundáys and holidays aré included in thé calculation of Iaytime (SHINC). Because Sunday is a Christian holiday, in Islamic countries it is substituted by Friday and in Israel by Saturday. However, if thé ship must shift from one bérth to anothér in order tó continue loading dischárging operations, thé shifting time invoIved will normally cóunt as laytime.

However, such deIays may cóunt if the chartérer agrees and páys half demurrage fór time lost dué to the striké and the conséquent delay exceeding Iaytime. The Charterer shaIl have thé right óf shifting the VesseI at ports óf loading andor dischargé from one safé berth to anothér on payment óf all towage ánd pilotage shifting tó next berth, chargés for running Iines on arrival át and leaving thát berth, additional agéncy charges and éxpense, customs overtime ánd fees, and ány other extra pórt charges or pórt expenses incurréd by reason óf using more thán one berth. Time consumed ón account óf shifting shall nót count as uséd laytime.
