'''Summary'''

For charterers to obtain a 50/50 apportionment for cargo liability between themselves and the owners on grounds of the first proviso to clause 8(b) of the Inter- Club New York Produce Exchange Agreement 1996 (the “Inter-Club Agreement or ICA”), the charterparty must contain a provision which is clearly intended to pass complete responsibility for cargo handling to the shipowners. A partial transfer of responsibility, or responsibility for a particular aspect of cargo handling (such as stowage), will not be sufficient to engage the ICA 8(b) proviso.'''
