7. PART III-Y SUBSTITUTION AND PART VIII-D VESSEL SUBSTITUTION BOTH
REFER TO POTENTIAL VESSEL SUBSTITUTIONS; HOWEVER, THEY CONTRADICT
EACH OTHER IN THE ABILITY OF THE OFFEROR TO SUBMIT A SUITABLE
SUBSTITUTE VESSEL. FOLLOWING THE ORDER OF PRECEDENCE PROVIDED IN

SUPERSEDE PART VIII-D VESSEL SUBSTITUTION CLAUSE. CAN YOU PLEASE
CONFIRM THAT OUR UNDERSTANDING IS CORRECT?

REFERENCED IN BOX 6 OF PART I, THE ATTACHMENTS THAT FOLLOW DO NOT
APPLY TO THIS CHARTER PARTY.” HOWEVER, NONE OF THE BOXES WITHIN
PART I HAVE ANY ENTRIES. THE ONLY REFERENCE TO BOX 6 WITHIN THE
TUGCON AND THE RFP IS REGARDING LAYDAYS COMMENCEMENT AND
CANCELLING. CAN YOU PLEASE CONFIRM THAT THE DRY VOYAGE TIME
CHARTER WILL NOT APPLY TO/BE PART OF THIS CHARTER PARTY?
ANSWER: THE PART I BOXES ARE ADDRESSED AND REFERENCED IN THE RFP.
THERE ARE ATTACHMENTS CALLED OUT IN BOX 7 OF PART I—THE WAGE
DETERMINATION AND THE SHIPYARD DATA TEMPLATE—THAT MUST BE
EITHER ACKNOWLEDGED AND/OR COMPLETED FOR THIS CHARTER PARTY.
THE DRY VOYAGE TIME CHARTER WILL NOT APPLY TO AND/OR BE A PART
OF THIS CHARTER PARTY.
