Planning and arithmetic tool only. Laytime and demurrage outcomes depend on the wording of the governing charterparty, NOR validity, notice periods, exceptions, weather clauses, Sundays and holidays, shifting, strikes, breakdowns, “once on demurrage always on demurrage” provisions, despatch wording and other facts. Users must determine which periods count before relying on the calculation. This tool is not legal or chartering advice.
