Is charterers’ failure to pay an instalment of hire punctually under a time charterparty a breach of condition, strictly so called? Or, without more, does such a failure ‘merely’ entitle shipowners to withdraw the vessel from service under the charterparty in accordance with the express provisions of a withdrawal clause?
