Deviation is when a ship changes its route due to justifiable causes, such as saving lives, supporting another ship in danger or without justifiable cause. Deviation may lead to a delay in the contract deadlines. Unjustified deviation is a fundamental breach of contract and the charterer has the right to elect to terminate the contract.
Your Lawyer heard about your decision and advised you not to accept.
He told you that the Mediator has to be a neutral third party, according to ICC Rules. The Parties have to nominate a neutral third party, that has no interest in the decision of the cause, to be the mediator. You need to choose a neutral third party to be the mediator.
Do you want to choose the mediator alone or with the charterer?
