In a recent London Arbitration 10/15, (2015) 929 LMLN 4, Owners commenced the arbitration proceedings against Charterers. One of the Owners’ claims was for an indemnity in respect of any subsequent liability they might incur towards or in defending claims from third-party cargo interests. Cargo interests’ cargo claim failed at first instance but was going to be appealed.
Following the exchange of submissions, the Owners and the Charterers concluded a settlement agreement for charterparty disputes that provided amongst other things:
In the event that cargo interests successfully appeal the Judgment at first instance in the Belgian proceedings, then the owners claim an indemnity from the Charterers…together with any further losses that the owners may have sustained in defending the same.

货物索赔 – 船东追不回的诉讼费用
在最近的一宗伦敦仲裁案London Arbitration 10/15, (2015) 929 LMLN 4中，船东对租家提起仲裁。船东提出的请求之一是，就其对第三方，即货方，可能产生的后续责任或因对抗货方而产生的诉讼费用，向租家索赔。货方的索赔被一审法院驳回，进而提起上诉。
仲裁文件提交后，船东和租家就租约争议达成和解，和解文件中提到：
“如果货方在比利时法院一审判决上诉成功，那么船东将有权向租家追索该部分赔偿……以及船东在本案抗辩中遭致的进一步损失。”
