在最近的仲裁案London arbitration 7/19中，涉事船舶于2010年系经修订的NYPE 1981格式出租，租家可在3至5个月的范围内选择租期。其要点重述部分并入了另一船执行过的形式租约且做出了修改。
船东提起仲裁，主张租家拖欠租金237,719.07美元。船东现提交了两项申请。第一项申请是依据租家起草的租船声明立即支付80,925.74美元，该声明罗列了应付船东款项。

Payment of Hire and legal principle of Set-off – A new arbitration matter
In the recent arbitration, London arbitration 7/19, the subject vessel was chartered in 2010 on the NYPE 1981 form as amended for a period of between three months and five months in charterers’ option. The recap incorporated and amended a proforma charterparty for another vessel (the proforma charter).
The owners brought arbitration proceedings against the charterers claiming a balance of account in the sum of USD 237,719.07. The owners now made two applications. The first application was for an immediate award of USD 80,925.74 based on a hire statement drawn up by the charterers which showed a balance of that amount due to the owners.

《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。
