'''Comment'''
This judgment, in which a term was held to be implied despite the complexity of the dispute, provides an interesting contrast with the recent judgment in The “Smart” [2021] EWHC 1157 (Comm) [[https://www.onlinedmc.co.uk/index.php/Alpha_Marine_v_Minmetals_Logistics_Zhejiang_-_The_Smart[[Link title]][[Link title]]]], which held that no term was to be implied into that charter.
As the present case shows, it is only if the contract is, in effect, silent on the precise issue that arises that a term may be implied if it is necessary to make the contract work, if it would otherwise lack practical or commercial coherence.
