在2018年9月25日的Qingdao Huiquan Shipping Company v Shanghai Dong He Xin Industry Group Co Ltd – QBD (Comm Ct) (Bryan J) [2018] EWHC 3009 (Comm)案中，原告船东与收货人Emori（中国）有限公司（简称Emori）订立和解协议，以解决在交付一批镍矿石时所发生的纠纷。该和解协议受英国法律制约且并入了伦敦仲裁条款。该协议涉及Emori赔付金额，以解除船东在租船人拖欠租金后对货物行使的留置权。
和解协议的一个条款是，被告(SDHX)将作为Emori的“正式委托代理人”向船东支付和解款项，但SDHX本身不是和解协议的缔约方。

Settlement Agreement and anti-suit injunction against the third party
In the case of Qingdao Huiquan Shipping Company v Shanghai Dong He Xin Industry Group Co Ltd – QBD (Comm Ct) (Bryan J) [2018] EWHC 3009 (Comm) – 25 September 2018, the claimant owners concluded a settlement agreement with cargo receivers Emori (China) Co Ltd (Emori) settling certain disputes between them in relation to the delivery of a cargo of nickel ore pursuant to the Settlement Agreement. The Settlement Agreement was governed by English law and contained a London arbitration clause. This agreement involved the payment of sums by Emori to lift a lien over the cargo exercised by the owners following the default of the time charterers in paying hire.
It was a term of the Settlement Agreement that Emori would procure payment of the agreed sums to the owners by the defendant (SDHX) as Emori’s “authorised agent” but SDHX itself was not a party to the Settlement Agreement.

《IMSBC规则》修正案将于2019年1月1日生效。本文中，Brookes Bell LLP的Penelope Cooke解释了即将生效的修正案会对载运煤类货物的船舶产生何等影响。有关《IMSBC规则》修正案的全部详情，请参阅国际海事组织MSC.426(98)号决议。
《国际海运固体散货(IMSBC)规则》中，将煤描述为一种由非晶形碳和碳氢化合物组成的天然固体可燃物质。尽管煤以易燃性和自热性闻名，然而某些煤类货物也有易于液化的特点。所有煤类货物都具有B组化学特性，例如可能发生自热或排放甲烷；除此之外，即将生效的《IMSBC规则》修正案中提到了煤类货物被认定为A组（即易于液化）的标准。因此，煤类货物有可能需要取得与其他A组货物（例如精矿、镍矿石和铁矿粉）相同的TML证书和含水量证书。
