In upholding a final arbitration award made in Owners’ favour, which awarded as a debt the time used to clean the vessel’s hull and propeller at the hire rate after her redelivery under a one voyage time charter trip, the High Court held that Owners were not confined to a claim in damages, which would have obliged them to prove a loss of time in the vessel’s use, because the hull fouling clause required the “underwater cleaning of hull including propeller etc. to be done at first workable opportunity and ''always '' at Charterers’ time” (emphasis added).
