Lord Reid in The Johanna Oldendorff [1973]

Under a port charterparty, a vessel becomes an arrived vessel for the purpose of calculating laytime once she arrives within the confines of the port.

Test: whether the vessel was at such a place within the port that she was at the immediate and effective disposition of the charterers. Conversely, if she is at some other place within the port, then it is for the owners to show that she is nonetheless at the charterers disposition.WWWWinner roadstead VS : , 04 .VI. 2010
