The ships let under charter failed to comply with the Marine Pollution Convention which made it not possible for the charterer to fulfill its contract. The owners appealed against a finding that they were liable to the charterers.
Held: The appeal failed. Though the wording used was strange, on any reading the ship was not compliant.
