^Indicates that the clause has not been tailored.

(a) INSPECTION (TAILORED)

(1) In General

(i) The Vessel and Associated Equipment shall be subject to the Government's inspection as to suitability for the required service prior to delivery and subject to subsequent inspections at any time during the period of this Charter to determine continuing suitability for the required service as well as to determine whether the material condition of the Vessel and Associated Equipment will prevent effective operation during basic and optional periods (if any) of this Charter. Such inspections shall include but not be limited to:

(A) Condition and operability of all cargo handling gear including standing and running rigging, cranes, booms, gantries, and status of regulatory body inspections of same;

(B) Condition and operability of navigation, communication, and environmental protection equipment and existence of appropriate technical manuals and onboard spares;

(C) Condition (tightness and preservation) of hull, deck plating, superstructure, divisional bulkheads and the operability of ground tackle;

(D) General material condition and maintenance of the Vessel and tanks;

(E) Condition, operability, and certification of required safety and firefighting equipment;

(F) Operability and safety of engineering spaces and equipment;

(G) Bunker survey;

(H) Hydrostatic test of all cargo systems (125 psi);

(I) Condition of all equipment required under this Charter particularly in respect to pollution avoidance;

(J) Condition of tank coatings.

(ii) The Government further reserves the right to have the Vessel surveyed at any time by an independent surveyor.

(iii) If in the opinion of the Government Inspector or independent surveyor deficiencies exist that preclude the adequacy of the Vessel for the assigned service, a notice for correction will be issued. In the event that the stated deficiencies are not corrected in a reasonable period of time and in the opinion of the Contracting Officer (based upon the recommendation of the Government Inspector and/or the independent surveyor) the Vessel is inadequate for the intended services or unable to operate for the remaining period of the Charter as a result of these deficiencies, the Government reserves the right to cancel this Charter at no cost to the Government at any time during its term or to take any other action available under this Charter Party or authorized by law.

(2) Predelivery Inspection. A predelivery inspection of the Vessel with tanks gas and ballast free and clean may be held at Charterer's option; such inspection shall be of an advisory nature only. At any such inspection, any representation of a Government representative present, or lack thereof, shall not be binding on the Charterer. This inspection shall be conducted, if possible, in a shipyard and on a date mutually agreeable to the Owner and the Government. The Owner will be advised of the condition of the Vessel, Associated Equipment and tank coatings as found by the Inspector. This predelivery procedure is to enable the Owner to correct any deficiencies discovered before the delivery inspection in view of the Charterer's requirements that tank coating failures shall not exceed two percent (2%) of the total surface area in each tank in order for the Vessel to be acceptable on delivery. The results of any predelivery inspection under this paragraph shall further be without prejudice to any later determinations that the Vessel, Associated Equipment or Vessel tanks are unsuitable under this Charter Party, whether made at the delivery inspection or at any time during the period of the charter period including options if exercised.

(3) Service Inspection

(i) If any of the services do not conform with contract requirements, the Government may require the Contractor to perform the services again in conformity with contract requirements, at no increase in contract amount.

If a prior (last and next to last) cargo contained a percentage of benzene, Owner’s certified marine chemist must also measure toxicity for benzene content and certify safe for entry. If partial shipment is offered, adjacent tanks next to Government cargo are to be gas-free. Last and next to last cargoes carried in tanks must be an approved product. The use of copper and copper alloys (brass, bronze, etc.) in vessel compartments, pipelines, heating coils, fittings, etc., that may come into contact with cargo is not permitted in vessels chartered by MSC to carry petroleum products, unless vessel possesses a current Defense Logistics Agency-Energy (DLA-E) waiver. Vessel must be equipped for both pier side and at anchor cargo operations. Contractor shall arrange oil spill protection and cleanup. Vessel shall have spill prevention booms for use during lightering operations.
