## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Maritime, Shipping & Transport](https://ailawframework.com/practice/maritime-shipping-and-transport.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | List the laytime clause the charter already contains and the arrival, berthing, and completion times the statement of facts already states. Do not subtract times and do not state a result in days or money. |
| What the lawyer must review | No laytime or demurrage formula was opened. The Carriage of Goods by Sea Act does not apply to charter parties, and it does not supply a laytime calculation. The list is the clause and the times already in the file. You decide how the clause applies to those times. Opinion 512. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: List the laytime clause the charter already contains and the arrival, berthing, and completion times the statement of facts already states. Do not subtract times and do not state a result in days or money.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- A bill of lading issued under the charter is a different document. The Act can apply to that bill from the moment it regulates relations with a holder. This list is the charter clause.
- Do not convert a time into a sum. No rate was opened.
