在租船合同中,一般有如下丈尺条款:
OWNERS HAVE OPTION TO ARRANGE SURVEYOR TO HAVE THE CARGO DIMENSION FULLY OR SELECTIVELY MEASURED BASIS PACKING LIST PROVIDED BY CHARTERERS. SURVEY COST TO BE FOR OWNER’S ACCOUNT AND OWNERS WILL INVITE CHARTERERS/SHIPPER TO JOIN THE SURVEY BY PRIOR NOTICE AND CHARTERERS TO GUARANTEE THE PACKING LIST AS PROVIDED IS CORRECT AND FINAL. OCEAN FREIGHT WILL BE CHARGED BASIS SURVEY RESULT OR SHIPPER’S DECLARATION WHICHEVER BIGGER. THE SURVEY RESULT SHALL BE DEEMED AS FINAL AND BINDING TO BOTH PARTIES.
从上面条款中可以看出以下内容:
1. 船东安排尺寸丈量,可以选择全部丈量,也可以选择部分
2. 打尺费用,船东承担,船东提前通知打尺事宜,并邀请租家/发货人参加进行联合打尺
3. 打尺依据就是租家提供的最后的准确的packing list
4. 运费的收取按照订舱数据和打尺的最后结果取大者。
5. 最后的打尺结果,一般在现场需要租家或者发货人签字确认。
