Item 13
If a vessel berthed at the terminal finds it necessary to discharge or shift ballast or to take on fresh water, such action must be planned sufficiently in advance so that loading, unloading, completion, or departure will not be delayed. Damages for any delays resulting from failure to preplan as described above or to pre-advise the terminal management accordingly will be charged against the vessel, its owners, master and agent at the rate of $1000.00 per hour for each hour or fraction thereof that loading, unloading, completion or departure is delayed thereby.
