Applicability: Shipowners and Charterers<\/p>\n

The situation<\/strong>
Following the outbreak of the Ebola virus, the shipping world is facing a significant challenge with potentially dramatic implications for Shipowners involved in trade to and from Western Africa. The legal implications may vary from case to case depending on the underlying contract, and more specific advice should be sought. Owners may find likely anticipated scenarios and the implications under English law as below.<\/p>\n

Possible scenarios and implications<\/strong>
Scenario 1: The vessel refuses to enter a port that is allegedly Ebola infected either due to the owners or the crew<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here the principle of safety of ports may apply. A port will probably not be safe if it exposes the crew to an imminent risk of contraction of the Ebola virus that cannot be avoided by taking appropriate measures. This is rather a question of facts than of law and medical advice should be sought. For this first scenario we will imply that the port is indeed unsafe.<\/p>\n
