Assume that you are the chartering manager of Gavi company that exports grain. You are not satisfied with the time charterparty currently being used by your company and are therefore looking at developing your own charterparty. You want to develop your time charterparty by selecting relevant clauses from the NYPE93 and SHELLTIME4 charterparties.

Select the appropriate clauses from NYPE93 and SHELLTIME4 charterparties which, in your opinion, are the most suitable from a charterer's perspective, either in their current form or with slight modification. The clauses should be selected to cover the following topics:

Ship speed and fuel consumption

Safe port

Delivery of ship

Cancelling of charterparty

Maintenance of ship

Responsibility for loading and discharging

Paramount clause for the inclusion of the Hague Rules or Hague-Visby Rules

Exceptions

Bill of lading

Payment of hire

Justify your selection of clauses. In answering the question clearly indicate the modification(s) if any of the selected clause(s) may require.
