Lay days 6
Lay days 6 : The number of days specified in a charter party to enable the charterer to load or unload cargo. They start to run as soon as the ship reaches the berth or mooring specified in the charter party. If just a port is specified, the ship must have reached a position within the port where the charterer can immediately dispose of its cargo. (This is known as the "Reid test"). The charter party can include a dispatch payment to reward the charterer for saving days when loading or unloading the cargo. Unless the charter party provides otherwise - for example by limiting them to good-weather working days - lay days run consecutively without a break. See also Demurrage
