StatusPersuasive authority

Key Principle

A charterer's/owner's failure to provide a nominated vessel for a contract-of-affreightment shipment is a non-performance of that shipment, not mere delay, attracting the orthodox contract/market measure of damages, and a later voyage of a different cargo at COA rates is a separate adventure that neither cures the breach nor reduces recoverable loss.
