Sino East Transportation Ltd v Grand Amazon Shipping Ltd (The "Grand Amanda") [2025] EWHC 1990 (Comm)

NYPE implied indemnity and the Inter-Club Agreement

The Commercial Court dismissed an appeal by charterers from an arbitral award in which owners were granted an indemnity in respect of their liability under a foreign court judgment for cargo damage caused by inherent vice. The judgment provides guidance regarding the scope of the implied indemnity for following charterers' employment orders and the applicability of the Inter-Club Agreement in cargo claims.
