At Prime Navigation Shipping, we understand that, despite best efforts, disputes between charterers and owners can sometimes arise. In cases where such disagreements remain unresolved, both parties, by mutual agreement, may appoint a third independent bureau to provide a feasible and balanced resolution for both sides. While we firmly believe that disputes should always be resolved amicably through communication and negotiation, Prime Navigation Shipping is fully equipped to handle any situation that escalates beyond this point. Our experienced team utilizes all available resources to ensure that our clients remain compliant with relevant regulations and agreements.
If a speed claim or performance dispute arises, our bureau conducts an in-depth assessment of the situation. This includes a thorough review of the damage claims, vessel performance reports, and all relevant data.
Our team focuses on supporting shipping operators by offering clear, data-backed analyses that strengthen their position. By providing objective insights into fuel consumption, operational performance, and compliance, we help operators make informed decisions.
While Post-Voyage Analysis (PVA) is a powerful tool for verifying vessel performance, we emphasize that it should only be used as a last resort. Even when it is explicitly mentioned in the charter party or fixture recap, we advise that all other avenues for amicable resolution be exhausted first.
If an amicable resolution cannot be reached, Prime Navigation Shipping offers comprehensive support throughout the arbitration process. Our team ensures that the operator’s involvement is minimal and that the necessary documentation, including the Post-Voyage Analysis report, is presented to facilitate a fair and efficient resolution.
At Prime Navigation Shipping, our goal is to ensure that disputes are resolved with professionalism, expertise, and a focus on minimizing disruption for all parties involved. Dispute Resolution_JUNE
