继伦敦海事仲裁员协会（LMAA）仲裁庭近期认定 “《保赔协会间协议2011年版》在严格意义上并未被完全并入NYPE租船合同” 之后，船东和船舶经营人应审查其现有租船合同的措辞。
在该案中，针对其向大船东提供的担保，二船东根据《保赔协会间协议2011年版》（简称ICA）第9条规定，要求租船人提供反担保。相关租船合同系经修订的NYPE 1946格式租约，其中包含如下条款：“租船人与船东之间，应当按照1996年起生效的《保赔协会间土产交易协议》及其后续修订版本的具体规定，对货物赔偿责任进行分摊/和解。”

Incorporation of 2011 Inter-Club Agreement in Charterparties
Owners and operators should review the wording of their existing charterparties after a recent LMAA arbitration tribunal found that the 2011 Inter-Club Agreement in its entirety was not properly incorporated in an NYPE charterparty.
The owners requested counter-security from their charterers for a claim they secured toward head owners, under Clause 9 of the 2011 Inter-Club Agreement (ICA). The charterparty, an amended NYPE 1946 form, contained a clause stating “(l)iability for cargo claims, as between Charterers and Owners, shall be apportioned/settled as specified by the Interclub New York Produce Exchange Agreement effective from 1996 and its subsequent amendment.”
