Minerva Navigation Inc v Oceana Shipping AG; Oceana Shipping AG v Transatlantica Commodities SA [2013] EWCA Civ 1723; [2013] WLR (D) 406

“The off-hire clause in clause 15 of the New York Produce Exchange 1946 (‘NYPE’) form of time charterparty was concerned with the service immediately required of the vessel, and not with ‘the chartered service’ as a whole or the entire maritime adventure or adventures which might be undertaken in the course of the chartered service. The clause concentrated on the period during which full working of the vessel was prevented or stopped.”
