G2 Ocean AS v Tokio Marine Brasil Seguradora SA [2026] EWHC 997
Two Congenbills specified that freight was payable as per a C/P dated 12 June 2024 and contained the standard clause incorporating all terms and conditions including law and arbitration of “the charterparty dated as overleaf”. There was no such C/P but the Court ruled that 2 booking notes of that date (issued by Owners and covering the same amount of cargo as specified in the B/Ls) were incorporated. As these contained a London Arbitration clause (and despite the 1 year time bar having elapsed) , the Court issued an ASI restraining cargo insurers from continuing their damage claim in the Courts of Brazil.
