Dear Charterer,
Please find the attached demurrage final invoice for your review.
We would like to highlight several factors that have led to the current situation.
The vessel was kept in a position outside the terms of the contract for a considerable period, without prior coordination or communication from your side. From the very beginning, we extended a discount on the contract amount as a gesture of goodwill, due to an issue that arose early on.
Although the vessel was initially scheduled to load at the port, the operation was later carried out via ship-to-ship transfer at a different location. This change involved additional distance and time, which we chose not to factor into the costs.
For an extended period, we received no updates or clarification regarding your intentions. It was only after the vessel owner booked a tank for unloading that any indication was provided. Nevertheless, we decided to wait well beyond the standard timeframe. We made it clear that if the lack of communication continued, we would proceed with unloading in the reserved tank.
We have now reached the current stage, and it is important to understand that the owner's damages in this matter are substantially greater than any inconvenience on your side.
In a continued effort to cooperate and maintain a strong working relationship, the only discount we can offer is to offset the owner’s losses by not charging the previously mentioned amount (USD 570,000)in the upcoming contract. This will help close this issue amicably and avoid further disputes.
We ask for your understanding, just as we have consistently understood your position and worked with flexibility to support your operations. We sincerely hope to continue our collaboration in the future.
Please also note that one final invoice remains outstanding, which will be issued once we receive confirmation of the exact discharge time.
Pls treat the invoice as the final one.
Best regards,

Dear Sir
Regarding demurrage calculation and outstanding, please find below comments

1- based on your preliminary demurrage invoice till 1st of July you charged 35 days .

now you calculated again till 5th July, it means that we should have 4 days more and reach to 39 days total demurrage, but mistakenly demurrage is 41 days , please review the calculation again.

2-Meanwhile we expect to deduct atleast 7 days from invoice for time related to rectification. ( we had 11 days waiting for rectification from 31st of May till 10th of june)

3- you charged 125,000 USD as repositioning fee , which is not reasonable because the position of waiting in LIANYUNGANG is on the same way towards Dongying and vessel did not deviate from main CP route. Please ignore the change.

4- we already paid 200,000 USD as provisional demurrage part which should be considered in Final invoice.

We are ready to pay all demurrage after above corrections by tomorrow. Please let us have your positive cooperation to go ahead for discharge and kindly issue the discharge order to Master of Cangjie urgently.

We hope that we can have more cooperation in our future deals as well.

Thank you
Best Regards
