Changes

The disponent owners of the vessel were not in anticipatory repudiatory breach of a three-year time charter where, contrary to the terms of that time charter, the head charter was subject to required the consent of the head owners’ consent owners for Gulf of Aden transits, as the disponent owners had not thereby expressed, or been deemed to have expressed, an intention not to perform the charter. The charterers were not thereby so substantially deprived of the whole value of that their charter, when set in the context of the background circumstances, that the charterer they could treat itself themselves as discharged from further performance.
