'''Summary'''
The Court of Appeal, in upholding the High Court’s decision, [[Link title]]https://www.onlinedmc.co.uk/index.php?title=/CSSA_Chartering_and_Shipping_Services_v_Mitsui_O.S.K._Lines_-_The_Pacific_Voyager]] held that where a charter provided for a vessel to perform the chartered service with utmost dispatch and contained an express obligation to proceed to the port of loading, there was an absolute obligation on the vessel to commence her approach voyage to the loading port by a date when it was reasonably certain that the vessel would arrive at the loading port on or around the expected readiness to load date, even where the charter only included an anticipated itinerary relating to the completion of the then current voyage.
