In the vast majority of voyage charter party claims, the starting point is not the cargo, not the port, and not the rate. It is a single document that determines when the laytime clock begins to run. That document is the Notice of Readiness (NOR), and its deceptively simple function, notifying the charterer that the vessel has arrived and is ready to perform, generates more litigation in the English courts and before London arbitration tribunals...]]></description><link>https://www.nordyoung.com/post/the-notice-of-readiness-the-most-disputed-document-in-shipping</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69cf258a40e74dbec4ff9da6</guid><pubDate>Sun, 05 Apr 2026 00:32:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/dac2e15b388a4baea4cef341f7290058.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Richard Young</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Demurrage in a Disrupted Market: What Cargo Interests and Charterers Need to Know]]></title><description><![CDATA[In normal market conditions, demurrage disputes are a routine feature of the shipping industry; frustrating, often contentious, but generally predictable in their mechanics. In a market shaped by the kind of disruption we are currently seeing in the Persian Gulf, with vessels stranded, ports congested, and voyage timelines collapsing, demurrage claims are going to multiply in volume and complexity at a rate the industry has not seen in decades. What Demurrage Actually Is Demurrage is...]]></description><link>https://www.nordyoung.com/post/demurrage-in-a-disrupted-market-what-cargo-interests-and-charterers-need-to-know</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69cbab56e7de3cb0060a354b</guid><pubDate>Tue, 31 Mar 2026 12:03:09 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/11062b_0fcef054c5ab48648b9e9e815fa2dc36~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Richard Young</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[What We Cover: A Breakdown of Nord Young's Insurance Offerings]]></title><description><![CDATA[Insurance is one of those things most people think about only when something goes wrong. By then, the question is no longer what coverage costs, it's whether you have the right kind. This post is a straightforward breakdown of what Nord Young offers across both marine and commercial lines, what each coverage type actually does, and why it matters to the businesses we work with. We work with clients on both sides of the industry divide; shipping operators who live and breathe charter parties...]]></description><link>https://www.nordyoung.com/post/what-we-cover-a-breakdown-of-nord-young-s-insurance-offerings</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69c5a8e41f04cf599d6247ad</guid><pubDate>Thu, 26 Mar 2026 22:58:27 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/11062b_4e6fd7f022c4422a85d4de58cb28ffec~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Richard Young</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[What the U.S.-Israel War on Iran Means for Global Shipping and Marine Insurance as the Strait of Hormuz Remains Closed]]></title><description><![CDATA[There are moments in maritime history that redefine how the industry operates, sometimes just for a season, sometimes for years. We are living through one of them right now. As of today, March 26, 2026, the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow passage between Iran and Oman through which roughly 20 percent of the world's seaborne oil and global LNG once flowed freely, is effectively closed to commercial shipping. This post is an attempt to lay out what happened, where things stand, and what it means...]]></description><link>https://www.nordyoung.com/post/what-the-u-s-israel-war-on-iran-means-for-global-shipping-and-marine-insurance-as-the-strait-of-hor</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69c57b68bf7953dab5288925</guid><pubDate>Thu, 26 Mar 2026 18:46:58 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/560a85_885a6e664b404d24a4a949634ef7f32e~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Richard Young</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nord Young? The Who, the What, and the Why: A Brief Introduction]]></title><description><![CDATA["Some careers are chosen. Mine was shaped by the sea, by the contracts signed before cargo leaves port, the disputes that arise when it doesn't arrive as planned, and the infrastructure of global trade that most people never think about until something goes wrong." Where This Comes From My name is Richard Young, and I've spent the better part of my career working inside the maritime industry. Not from the shore, but deep in the operational and legal machinery that keeps international shipping...]]></description><link>https://www.nordyoung.com/post/nord-young-an-introduction</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69c41070d2e55f64fe07d717</guid><pubDate>Wed, 25 Mar 2026 16:54:22 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/715c02d16be64597b72ca6299fe6c2fd.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Richard Young</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
