Towage Clause Samples
The TOWAGE clause defines the terms and conditions under which a vessel may be towed or may tow another vessel during the charter period. It typically outlines the circumstances when towage is permitted, the responsibilities of the parties involved, and any limitations or requirements, such as obtaining prior consent or ensuring proper insurance coverage. This clause is essential for clarifying liability and operational procedures in situations involving towage, thereby minimizing disputes and ensuring safety and compliance during towing operations.
