charges being raised against the vessel.<br />
5.12.2. If a vessel vacates a berth as described in Clause 5.12.1 above, cargo which has<br />
been re-claimed <strong>from</strong> any stockpile or storage area and loaded onto TPT transport<br />
for shipping will be returned to the relevant stockpile or storage area. Additional<br />
handling, plus transfer charges, in respect of cargo so returned to the stockpile or<br />
storage area will be raised for the account of the party requesting the shifting of the<br />
vessel.<br />

5.13.3. After consideration of any planned delays then in all instances where a vessel is<br />
declared unproductive as per clause 1.1.88 stand-by charges at the applicable rate<br />
will be raised after a period of four (4) hours of unplanned stoppages subject to<br />
resources being on standby.<br />
5.13.4. A vessel that deviates at any given time during cargo working by more than 30%<br />
<strong>from</strong> its phase II will require the immediate convening of a planning meeting<br />
between the Customer and TPT to address the matter in order to gauge the<br />
situation and implement feasible corrective measures which may include the<br />
rescheduling of the vessel.<br />
