Bunker Disputes.

Bunker disputes arise in charter party agreements when there is a disagreement over the fuel costs (bunkers) used by a vessel. These disputes can involve issues like who is responsible for paying for fuel, the quality and quantity of the fuel, or the prices set for it. Such conflicts can impact the financial responsibilities of the ship owner and the charterer. Resolving these disputes often requires reviewing the terms of the charter party and negotiating a fair solution based on the agreed-upon terms and applicable maritime laws.
