During the delivery of the vessel, the Client shall be liable to establish whether the vessel is in the seaworthy condition and whether she has all the equipment enlisted in the check-in list.

In case of more than a delay of 3 hours, the Client shall pay triple rate for the daily accommodation service. Additionally, he will be charged for costs related to the commercial loss of ABA VELA and costs end expenditures resulting from the delay of the Client. The delay can only be justified in case of Force Majeure provided that the Client immediately informs ABA VELA.

5. INSURANCE: The vessel is covered with full Kasko insurance against all risks and damages (including liability insurance of the owner, i.e. the Charterer) exceeding the Refundable security deposit amount up to the full value of the vessel.
