BIMCO 2013 Hull Fouling Clause For Time Charter Parties
A time charterparty will usually allow the vessel to trade worldwide, within Institute Warranty Limits ("IWL"). This will permit the charterer to order her to ports in waters that present a risk of hull fouling if the vessel remains idle there for a long time. In several areas, a vessel can be expected to wait for as long as one to two, or sometimes even three, weeks to berth – so fouling of her underwater parts will not be uncommon.
The owners of such a vessel may well expect the charterers to pay for the hull cleaning and to bear the risk of the vessel's resulting underperformance. In London Arbitration 24/05, the Owners recovered the cleaning costs under the NYPE clause 8 implied indemnity in respect of fouling caused by a 14-day stay at three Brazilian ports.
This is not, however, a straightforward area, due to two English Court decisions.

波罗的海国际航运公会（BIMCO）2013船体污染定期租船合同条款
定期租船合同通常允许船舶在伦敦协会保证航行范围内进行全球贸易。这将允许承租人的船舶在港口水域靠泊，但如果该船舶在很长一段时间内保持闲置状态，就会出现船体污损的风险。在一些地区中，船舶可能会等待1~2周，有时甚至会得到3周的停泊-- 船体水下部分结垢将是很常见的现象。
这样的船舶所有者就可能期望承租人能支付船体清洁费用和导致船体污染要承担的风险。在伦敦仲裁24/05中，NYPE第8条隐含船东需要收回由于在三个巴西港口停留了14天所造成的结垢清洗成本。
不过，这是地区并不是明确的，具体要由两个英国法院决定。
