In addition to such addendum, it is important for clients to ensure that their charter travel/cancellation insurance covers any prepaid and non-refundable costs incurred. Inopportunely, in the eventuality that there is no addendum in place to safeguard owners' and charterers' rights and interest in case of cancellation due to effects of Covid-19, one must refer to the clauses provided for in the MYBA Charter Agreement.
The MYBA Charter Agreement does not afford the charterer any grounds upon which such charterer may cancel the charter without having to forfeit any fees already paid to the owner. In fact, the only remedy available to the charterer is to contest the agreement on the basis that the existence/outbreak of COVID-19 renders the further performance of the MYBA Charter Agreement impossible, illegal or somewhat different from what was contemplated by the owner and the charterer when they signed the contract. more
Notably, considering the nature of the industry, there is optimism that once the coronavirus situation improves, the charter market will be quick to bounce back; however, the longevity of this pandemic is impossible to anticipate. more
Therefore, in order to counter the aforementioned issues encountered by the charterer, many brokerage firms are offering greater reassurances to clients booking charters, by providing an addendum to the standard charter agreement, outlining either a change to the charter area, a rescheduling of the charter or, failing agreement on these two points, a no-penalty cancellation of the charter.
This epidemic has created vast uncertainty within the industry and has left all parties involved in a state of panic as one cannot forecast when charters shall once again take place. Thus, industry players are doing their utmost to counter the uncertainty sown through the inclusion of provisions within yacht charter agreements still being entered into by providing alternatives if the situation does not improve by the date of charter. more
Where the owner's need to cancel is not based on force majeure reasons, the charterer shall be entitled to immediate repayment without interest of the full amount of all payments made by him under the terms of the agreement. In this case, the charterer is entitled to liquidated damages from the owner based on a percentage of the charter fee and calculated on a sliding scale which increases depending upon how close to the commencement of the charter period the notice of cancellation is given. Conversely, the charterer has no protection equivalent to the owners' protection unless they have negotiated specific amendments to the MYBA Charter Agreement to protect themselves. [links]
