ATTACHMENT (03)

GUIDELINES FOR FULL/PARTIAL OFF-HIRE PERCENTAGES ON READINESS

ISSUES

The following are guidelines for the determination of off-hire charges against the Contractor for specific instances of failure to comply with readiness standards under Attachment (01), Parts IV(i), “Readiness,” and IV(j), “Off-Hire,” of this Charter Party. These standards are guidelines only and are not construed as binding and inflexible provisions of this Charter Party. When determining off-hire, the Government will recognize difficulties attributable to the Government which are encountered by the Contractor in transporting repair and spare parts, personnel, and service representatives. The Contracting Officer at all times reserves the right to make off-hire determinations under the specific facts and circumstances of each incident at issue. If, in any particular instance, these standards operate to impose inequitable results on either the Government or the Contractor, the Contracting Officer may make appropriate adjustments to the off-hire amount suggested by the guidelines so as to comport with applicable Admiralty Law and Custom of the Trade practices
