Bunker Supply Clause Samples
The Bunker Supply clause defines the terms and conditions under which fuel (bunkers) is provided to a vessel during a charter or shipping contract. It typically outlines the responsibilities for ordering, delivering, and paying for the fuel, as well as specifying the quality and quantity standards that must be met. For example, it may state which party arranges the supply, who bears the risk during transfer, and how disputes over fuel quality are resolved. The core function of this clause is to ensure both parties clearly understand their obligations regarding fuel supply, thereby minimizing disputes and operational delays related to bunkering.
