Note Some metals and alloys have two positions in the series, marked Active
and Passive; the active position is equivalent to the position if corrosion is
occurring and approaches the electro-chemical series position for the material.
The passive position relates to a non-corroding situation where the material is
protected by a self forming surface film. For example, type 316 stainless steel in
sea water is more likely to be passive than type 304 and is therefore generally
preferred for immersed marine applications.
Section 1 Rev 0
Page 1 of 3
If two metals are placed in an electrolyte (e.g. sea water or damp soil) and are in
direct electrical contact, a current will pass through the electrolyte from the
more active metal onto the least active metal. The least active metal does not
corrode and is termed the cathode. The more active metal, the anode, passes
into solution and the flow of electrical current increases. This is a metal ion and
electron transfer process i.e., it corrodes.
The Anodic and cathodic areas in a corrosion cell may be due to the electrical
contact of two dissimilar metals, termed galvanic corrosion. Anodic and
cathodic areas may be formed on a single metal surface as micro-cells for
instance by rain drops on uncoated steel. Alternatively, they may be close but
discrete cells found when accelerated corrosion occurs at uncoated Anodic areas
on a generally coated cathodic structure. In addition there are long line type
cells that occur on pipelines that pass through aggressive low resistivity soils.
These sections form Anodic areas and corrode in preference to cathodic areas in
less aggressive higher resistivity soils.
Large currents can occur at small Anodic areas and lead to rapid corrosion of
marine structures such as ship's internal tanks, external hull plates, sheet steel
piling in harbours and tubular structures common in jetties and petrochemical
drilling and production platforms.
Section 1 Rev 0
Page 2 of 3
As described above, a galvanic corrosion cell occurs when dissimilar metals are
in contact with each other within an electrolyte. Care should be taken in the
construction of structures that will be buried or immersed in an electrolyte to
ensure a galvanic cell is not created.
a) Steel or cast iron water boxes in contact with non ferrous (often copper
based) tube plates in condenser water boxes in ships or generating
plant. Rapid corrosion of the ferrous water box occurs close to the tube
plate.
The potential, or measure of activity, between the structure and the electrolyte is
a relatively easily measured indication of whether the structure is Anodic or
cathodic. For steel under normal non anaerobic conditions it can be shown
theoretically, and is accepted practically, that a steel/electrolyte potential more
negative than -0.85 volts measured against a standard copper/copper sulphate
electrode indicates that cathodic protection is achieved. This is equivalent to -
0.80 volts measured against silver / silver chloride electrode and + 0.24 volts
against a zinc electrode as indicated in figure 1.3.

2.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTIONS:
Section 2 Rev 3
Page 1 of 6
Generally, for a given current demand, less impressed current anodes than
sacrificial anodes are required for protection, as high anode currents are
feasible. Impressed current systems of cathodic protection are more
sophisticated in design than sacrificial systems.
The function of the anode is to conduct the d.c. protective current into the sea
water. C-Shield anodes have been designed to perform this function whilst
maintaining a low electrical resistance contact with the sea water. Standard
surface mounted anodes are available with from 50 to 300 Ampere ratings. For
forward mounted systems and for special applications 50 and 75 Ampere
recessed anodes are available.
Materials now used by C-Shield for Anodes have now gone beyond lead alloy
with specialist coated titanium based Anodes now available. All C-Shield anode
designs utilise a tough, chlorine resistant, but slightly flexible plastic carrier.
Section 2 Rev 3
Page 2 of 6
The use of a 24 volt system reduces the number and length of the anodes from
that required with a 12 volt system. The increased anode/sea water resistance
resulting from this decrease in anode size is overcome by the additional voltage.
Recommended cable sizes for various run lengths are tabulated in section 3.5.
The potential of the hull steel to the sea water is unaffected by this increase in
driving voltage, as the resistive effects are local to the anode and the hull/sea
potential is a function of the current flow, the sea water and the coating
condition, not the driving voltage.
The electrical connections to the active surface are made at the back of the
anode and are fully encapsulated and protected by the hull penetration.
Recessed anodes of essentially similar construction are provided for bow
section applications.
All hull penetrations are provided with substantial doubler plates and
cofferdams. The penetrations themselves are made watertight with heavy duty
packing glands, the cofferdams are fully sealed and provided with watertight
cable glands, all conforming to the requirements of Classification Societies.
The high purity, high stability, zinc reference electrodes are designed to give a
stable reference against which the hull/sea potentials can be measured and a
small current flow that is used in the closed loop circuit to maintain the pre-set
levels of protection.
The construction and the quantity of zinc employed within the electrodes are
such that a minimum life of fifteen years is available without maintenance or
replacement.
The minimum number of reference electrodes per power supply is one although
normally two will be fitted. Ideally, these should be located a minimum of 7.5
metres distant from the anodes. In the case of a stern only installation with the
anodes more than 150 metres from the bows, one reference electrode may be
located in the bows.
A novel feature of the C-Shield closed circuit is that additional reference cells
may be placed at areas that may be susceptible to over-protection such as
adjacent to the anode dielectric shields. These additional reference cells provide
a permanent check, thus preventing any coating damage due to over-protection
if conditions of operation change from those anticipated. This feature is offered
as an optional extra to the standard schemes.
All hull penetrations are provided with substantial cofferdams. The penetrations
themselves are made watertight with heavy duty packing glands. The
cofferdams are fully sealed and provided with watertight cable glands all
conforming to the requirements of the Classification Societies.

2.2.4 Bonding
To allow protection of the bare propeller and any exposed shafting and to
prevent electrical arcing between shaft and bearings the propeller shaft is
fitted with a slipring assembly. A set of brushes provide the completion of a
low resistance path to allow current to flow to the propeller blades along the
shaft and back to the hull. The slipring is formed from a copper strip
clamped around the shaft with high copper content heavy current capacity
brushes held in geared brush holders. The C-Shield slipring track is silver
plated as standard and in addition silver graphite brushes are used to
minimise contact resistance.

Description
Drawing No 10M shows an exploded view of the complete assembly and hull
mounting details. The equipment consists of an anode, anode doubler plate
cofferdam and a di-electric shield.
The anode consists of a titanium disc (coated with Cathelco category CCIII or CCV)
moulded in a rubber holder with integrated packing rings and four bolts to fasten the
unit flush to the hull. A water tight cofferdam is welded to the anode doubler plate.
Installation
3.2.0 Cut a 403mm opening in the hull plate (1) in accordance with drawing
100717M to permit the doubler plate (2). Prepare the hole for welding by
bevelling the inside edge of the hole.
3.2.1 Position the doubler plate (2) as per drawing 10M and secure into
place using a full penetration weld with back seal weld as per approved
weld procedure.
3.2.2 Clean off any weld splatter on the back of the doubler plate (2) to ensure
that the cofferdam (3) will locate flat to the doubler plate (2) at the inboard
side.
3.2.4 Externally in way of the area to be covered by the anode (5) clean off any
weld spatter from the surface, and grind flat all welds.
3.2.5 Before proceeding further, ensure that ALL other welding work, either
inboard or outboard has been completed for the entire area to be covered by
the di-electric shield. Any welding carried out after application of the di-
electric shield will damage the shield material even if the welding is not
associated with the cathodic protection system.
3.2.6 The dimensions of the di-electric shield are shown on drawing 103224M
3.2.7 Inspect the area to be covered and grind off all weld spatter and surplus
weld material to a smooth profile.
3.2.8 Remove all oil and grease from the areas using clean, dry, oil free rags
soaked in a hydrocarbon solvent such as Xylol, Toluene or white spirit, do
not use petrol or paraffin. Change the rags frequently to avoid merely
spreading contamination.
3.2.9 Plug the hull penetration and gritblast the primary shield area to SA 2.5
(ISO 8501 1:2007). Check that the surface profile is within 50-70 microns.
3.2.11 Form the di-electric shield by painting the Di-electric supplied as per
drawing 103224M within 4 hours of blasting and before the formation of
any visible rust bloom. If the Di-electric cannot be painted within 4 hours of
blasting then an epoxy primer must be applied before the Di-electric.The
Di-electric can be paint applied or airless sprayed. Primary shield to be
applied as per drawing 103224M. Secondary shield area to be coated with
standard hull coating minimum of 500 microns. If the paint film is too thin,
roughening of the surface by blasting to Grade Coarse G is needed. Allow
sufficient drying time before applying the second coat. Safety data sheets
can be supplied upon request.
3.2.12 Fit the anode (5) into position through the doubler plate (2) taking care not
to damage the electrical connection pin (6).
3.2.13 Inside the vessel, remove the cofferdam lid (7) from the cofferdam (3) and
check the pin (6) for damage

(2) recess and fully tighten the gland body (9)
3.2.15 Fit one washer (11) and one nut (12) to each anode stud (13) and hand
tighten.
3.2.17 Fit the second nut (14) to each stud (13) and hand tighten
3.2.18 Hold the first nut and starting at the #1 bolt, use cross-pattern tightening
sequence in drawing 10M to tighten the nuts. Each sequence
constitutes a ‘Round’. Use 3 rounds to fully tighten to the required torque of
50 N-m (36.9lbs/ft or 5.1kg/m).
3.2.19 Fully tighten the anode cable gland compression ring (10).
3.2.20 Ensure the cofferdam exit boss (4) is secure with the dowty washer (15)
fitted. Fit the dowty washer (16) gland (17) (18) into position outside the
cofferdam (dry compartment installation) or inside the cofferdam (wet
compartment installation). Any cables which run through tanks must be
housed in heavy wall conduit pipe. Tighten the main body (17) fully into
position, but fully slacken the compression ring (18).
3.2.21 Thread the shipyard cable (19) through the gland (17) (18) into the
cofferdam (3). Connect a correct sized crimp ring (20) onto the shipyard
cable (19). Connect the shipyard cable (19) to the anode electrical
connection pin (6), the connection is made by adding 1 x M10 half nut (21)
and washer (22) onto the anode electrical connection pin (6). The crimp
ring (20) is then placed over the anode electrical connection pin (6) and
secured in place with a washer (23) and M10 nyloc nut (24). This can then
be insulated by applying a piece of heat shrink. Tighten the gland
compression ring (18) onto the cable (19) leaving a loop of slack cable
inside the cofferdam. Connect the shipyard cable (19) into the power
supply unit via a junction box if required.
3.2.22 Check the insulation of the anode connection circuit to the hull using a
500V earth insulation test meter. DO NOT MEGGER if the vessel is afloat.
Disconnect from the power supply unit before this test, or permanent
damage may occur.
3.2.23 Make a final visual check of all connections and fit the cofferdam lid (7)
and gasket (25) to seal the cofferdam (3). Fit the cofferdam lid (7) by fitting
one M8 washer (26) over each M8 bolt (27) and tighten the 6 x M8 bolts (27)
into the cofferdam body (3). Starting at the #1 bolt, use cross-pattern
tightening sequence in drawing 10M to tighten the nuts. Each sequence
constitutes a ‘Round’. Use 3 rounds to fully tighten to the required torque of
26 N-m (19.17lbs/ft or 2.63kg/m). Ensure the removable sealing plug (28) is
fitted to the cofferdam lid (7).
3.2.24 After the anode installation work is finished, the cofferdams may be filled
with an electrical insulation compound (This is to be supplied by the
shipyard if required).
Before painting over the primary shield area with hull paint an epoxy tiecoat must be
applied
All welds used during installation should meet the yard or Classification Society
rules.
No welding on or adjacent to the cable pipes shall be performed after cable pull in.

Check that the LCD of the Power Supply unit display is illuminated,
and that the ON/ALARM LED is lit. If either of these is incorrect
then refer to the fault finding section.
NOTES:
Once weekly the slipring should be checked for cleanliness, for wear
on the brushes and to confirm that the brushes both move freely in
their holders and are held firmly onto the slipring by the brush holder
spring. Check the rudder stock bonding cable for any fraying of the
conductor at the connection points.
Replace all covers provide power and operate the mains switch to the

5.0.5 30 DAYS PRIOR TO DRY-DOCKING:
One month before the dry docking ensure that daily log sheets have
been maintained and forwarded to Cathelco for assessment with
information that dry docking is expected. This will ensure that any
necessary spares can be despatched in good time. Continue to log
the system readings up to the time the vessel enters the dry dock. It
is advised that an Engineer from Cathelco (Chesterfield) be in
attendance during dry-docking to check and service the C-Shield
System.
At times when the vessel enters a river estuary where the water may
be fresh or brackish the effect will be to limit the spread of current
from the anodes because of the much higher electrical resistivity of
water. Normally this will cause the automatic control to increase the
transformer rectifier output voltage to the maximum but this will be
accompanied by a very low level current and the reference electrode
potentials may indicate under protection. However, this has been
taken care of by our computer and is explained in a separate
paragraph in 6.1 the system will return the hull to the optimum
protective level as soon as the vessel returns to the sea water.
Once the vessel has come out of Dry-Dock and the hull has had a
new paint system applied or repaired, it is recommended that the
ICCP System is left switched off for a period of 4 weeks. This will
prevent impressing any current to the ship’s hull where paint maybe
weak or damaged and prevent any dis-bondment or blistering of the
paint system.
Section 5 Rev0
Page 2 of 2
6.0 SERVICE AND FAULT FINDING:
6.0.2 From consideration of section 1 it will be appreciated that the d.c. output
current of the system is the factor that provides the Cathodic Protection of
the hull. In a correctly functioning system the level of current output gives
an indication of the state of the paint system.
6.0.3 The voltage or potential reading on the reference electrode circuit is the
voltage of the hull with respect to the reference electrode. Application of
protective current changes this potential in a negative direction as indicated
in figure 1.3 to a level of +0.20 volt for optimum protection. This example
gives levels with respect to zinc electrodes.
6.0.4 The d.c. output voltage is the driving potential that produces the protective
current. The standard Cathelco C-Shield Marine Impressed Current System
has a maximum voltage output of 24VDC but this is automatically
regulated according to the current requirement and with a newly painted
vessel at low current output the DC voltage will normally be around + 3.5
volts.
6.0.5 Do not megger, or high voltage test this equipment. The DC and control
circuits are low voltage only and will be seriously damaged if high voltage
test equipment is used. To check insulation of any cables outside the Power
Supply Unit disconnect them at both ends.
6.0.6 If the LCD display is not illuminated then first check the mains supply to
the cabinet and that the system is switched on. If no fault can be found then
report conditions to Cathelco (Chesterfield).
6.0.7 If the Power Supply Unit On/Alarm LED is not lit, then note any of the
alarm conditions that are found to be displayed and contact Cathelco
(Chesterfield) giving full details of the alarm.
ICCP systems have experienced problems in the past when the vessel has to
enter a harbour or estuary where the water is either fresh or brackish. The
C-Shield computer controller has been programmed to identify this
situation by analysing the voltage reading, the amperage reading and the
reference electrode inputs. The ICCP system remains in automatic mode
and endeavours to provide the maximum available protection level around
the hull in this water condition. In fresh water conditions it is normal for the
output voltage from the system to increase and for current outputs to
decrease. This is caused by the increase in resistivity of the sea water
solution. When the vessel returns to normal sea water the output voltage
should begin to decrease and current outputs should begin to increase.

by applying a piece of heat shrink. Tighten the cable gland compression ring (18) onto
the cable (19) leaving some slack cable inside the cofferdam. Connect the shipyard
cable (19) into the power supply unit via a junction box if required.
23. Make a final visual check of all connections and finally fit the cofferdam lid (7) and
gasket (25) to seal the cofferdam. Fit the lid by fitting one M8 washer (26) over each M8
bolt (27) and tighten the 6 x M8 bolts into the cofferdam body (3). Starting at the #1 bolt,
use cross-pattern tightening sequence in the manual to tighten the nuts. Each sequence
constitutes a ‘Round’. Use 3 rounds to fully tighten to the required torque of 26 N-m
(19.17lbs/ft or 2.63kg/m).
24. After the anode installation work is finished, the cofferdams may be filled with an
electrical insulation compound (This is to be supplied by the shipyard if required).
25. Wash the extraction tool to remove all traces of sea water. Spray the tool with a rust
preventative coating.
26. Re-fit the fuses and turn on the power as per the Diver Operating Procedures for the
vessel.
27. After installation is complete re-commission the system. Refer to section 7 of the
installation manual for commissioning procedures.

Contract and no cancellation or termination of any one Contract relating to an instalment shall entitle the Buyer to repudiate or
cancel any other Contract or instalment.
4.5 If for any reason the Buyer fails to accept delivery of any of the Goods when they are ready for delivery, or Cathelco is unable
to deliver the Goods on time because the Buyer has not provided appropriate instructions, documents, licences or authorisations:
(a) risk in the Goods shall pass to the Buyer (including for loss or damage caused by Cathelco's negligence);
(b) the Goods shall be deemed to have been delivered; and
(c) Cathelco may store the Goods until the Buyer takes possession of the Goods, whereupon the Buyer shall be liable for all
related costs and expenses (including, without limitation, storage and insurance).
4.6 Unless agreed otherwise in the quotation (including by way of reference to a relevant Incoterm) the Buyer shall provide at the
Delivery Point and at its expense adequate and appropriate equipment and manual labour for unloading the Goods.
4.7 The Buyer shall examine the Goods as soon as reasonably practicable after delivery and shall immediately notify Cathelco of
any incomplete or failed delivery or any loss or damage during carriage. Unless the Buyer so notifies Cathelco within 30 days after
the date at which the Buyer became or ought reasonably to have become aware of the incomplete or failed delivery or loss or
damage to the Goods during carriage, the Buyer will be treated as having waived all claims connected with the matter.
4.8 Where the Buyer has entered into more than one Contract with Cathelco failure to deliver the Goods under this Contract will
not affect the Buyer’s obligation to comply with the terms of any other contracts.
5. IMPORT AND EXPORT LICENCES
If appropriate, Cathelco undertakes to obtain any UK licence required for the export of the Goods from the UK by Cathelco. The
Buyer shall comply with any such licence and shall obtain and comply with all other necessary licences, permits and consents. If
required by Cathelco, the Buyer shall make any such licences or consents available to Cathelco prior to delivery.
6. RISK/TITLE
6.1 The Goods are at the risk of the Buyer from the time of delivery. The condition and security of the Goods from the date of
delivery to the Date of Commissioning is the sole responsibility of the Buyer.
6.2 Ownership of the Goods shall not pass to the Buyer until Cathelco has received in full (in cash or cleared funds) all sums due
to it in respect of the Goods and all other sums which are or which become due to Cathelco from the Buyer on any account.
Cathelco shall be entitled to recover payment for the Goods notwithstanding that ownership of any of the Goods has not passed
from Cathelco.
6.3 Until ownership of the Goods has passed to the Buyer, the Buyer shall:
(a) hold the Goods on a fiduciary basis as Cathelco's bailee;
(b) store the Goods (at no cost to Cathelco) separately from all other goods of the Buyer or any third party in such a way that they
remain readily identifiable as Cathelco's property;
(c) not destroy, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Goods; and
(d) maintain the Goods in satisfactory condition and keep them in a safe and secure manner.
6.4 The Contract and the Buyer's right to possession of the Goods shall terminate immediately if:
(a) the Buyer commits a breach of any term of any Contract and (if the breach is capable of remedy) fails to remedy it within 30 days
after receipt of notice in writing requiring it to do so; or
(b) the Buyer makes any voluntary arrangement with its creditors or (being an individual or firm) becomes bankrupt or (being a
company) becomes subject to an administration order or goes into liquidation (otherwise than for the purpose of amalgamation or
reconstruction) or an encumbrancer takes possession or a receiver is appointed of any of the property or assets of the Buyer, or the
Buyer ceases, or threatens to cease, to carry on business; or
(c) any event analogous to those described in condition 6.4(b) which occurs in relation to the Buyer in any jurisdiction in which the
Buyer is incorporated, resident or carries on business.
6.5 The Buyer grants Cathelco, its agents and employees an irrevocable licence to enter any of its premises or vessels where the
Goods are or may be stored in order to recover Goods when the Buyer’s right to possession of the Goods has terminated.
6.6 On termination of the Contract, howsoever caused, Cathelco’s rights contained in this Condition 6 shall remain in effect.
7. PAYMENT
7.1 Subject to Conditions 7.2 and 7.5 and unless otherwise agreed in writing in accordance with Condition 2.2, invoices shall be
settled within 30 days of the date of the invoice and time for payment shall be of the essence.
7.2 Should Cathelco stipulate a requirement for security for payment before dispatch of the Goods, Cathelco shall have the right to
withhold delivery of the Goods until such security has been received.
7.3 No payment shall be deemed to have been received until Cathelco has received cleared funds in the currency stated on the
invoice. In the event of any failure to pay Cathelco any sum due pursuant to the Contract and without prejudice to any other
remedies available to Cathelco under the Conditions, the Buyer shall be liable to pay interest to Cathelco at 6% above HSBC Bank
Plc base rate for the time being per annum accruing on a daily basis until payment is made, whether before or after judgement.
7.4 All payments payable to Cathelco under the Contract shall become due immediately on its termination despite any other
provision.
7.5 All payments under the Contract are due in full without deduction by way of set-off, counterclaim, discount, or otherwise unless
the Buyer has a valid court order requiring an amount equal to such deduction to be paid by Cathelco to the Buyer.
7.6 Where the Buyer has entered into more than one contract with Cathelco, failure to pay Cathelco any sum due pursuant to the
Contract will entitle Cathelco to terminate all other contracts with and/or suspend any deliveries to the same Buyer and seek
payment of all outstanding sums.
7.7 The Buyer shall indemnify Cathelco against all costs, charges and expenses (including legal costs) incurred by Cathelco in
recovering sums owing by the Buyer (including but not limited to seizure of vessels).
8. QUALITY
8.1 Cathelco warrants that (subject to the other provisions of the Conditions) the Goods will conform in all material respects to the
specification provided by the Buyer in accordance with Condition 3.2. Cathelco further provides a one year warranty applying to all
Cathelco systems but excluding all consumable items. The warranty period starts from the delivery date. Consumable items are
not included in the warranty unless they fail before their recommended operating period. The condition and security of the
equipment from the date of receipt to the date of commissioning is the sole responsibility of the purchaser. All other warranties or
conditions (whether express or implied) as to quality, condition, description, compliance with sample or fitness for purpose (whether
T & C Rev 0
Page 2 of 4
statutory or otherwise) other than those expressly set out in this agreement are excluded from this agreement to the fullest extent
permitted by law.
8.2 Cathelco shall not be liable for a breach of the warranty in Condition 8.1 unless the Buyer gives written notice of the defect to
Cathelco within 30 days of the date of which the Buyer became or ought reasonably to have become aware of the breach and
Cathelco is given a reasonable opportunity after receiving the notice to examine such Goods. The Buyer shall as far as possible
preserve the Goods for inspection by Cathelco.
8.3 Cathelco shall not be liable for a breach of the warranty in Condition 8.1 if:
(a) the Buyer makes any further use of such Goods after giving such notice; or
(b) the Buyer alters or repairs such Goods without the written consent of Cathelco; or
(c) the defect was caused in any way by the Buyer’s failure to provide a full and accurate specification of the vessel that the
Goods would be applied to and/or the waters that the Goods would be used in (as required by Condition 3.2); or
(d) the defect was caused in any way by the Buyer’s failure to follow good trade practice or the Cathelco’s oral or written
instructions as to storage, installation, use or maintenance of the Goods.
8.4 Subject to Conditions 8.2 and 8.3, if any of the Goods do not conform with the warranty in Condition 8.1, Cathelco shall at its
option repair or replace such Goods (or the defective part) or refund the price of such Goods at the pro rata Contract rate provided
that, if requested, the Buyer shall return the Goods to Cathelco.
8.5 If Cathelco complies with Condition 8.4 (or if Cathelco’s reasonable attempts to comply with its preferred remedy under
Condition 8.4 are obstructed by the Buyer), Cathelco shall have no further liability for a breach of the warranty in Condition 8.1 in
respect of such Goods.
8.6 Where Goods are returned to Cathelco, Cathelco will accept no responsibility for the condition of the Goods received from the
Buyer. It is the responsibility of the Buyer to ensure that the packing is sufficient to protect the Goods during transit. The Buyer will
be required to pay for the replacement of Goods received which are damaged beyond economical repair or for repairs where such
damage is caused by transit.
9. INSTALLATION AND TESTING
9.1 It is the sole responsibility of the Buyer to ensure that the Goods are installed correctly and in compliance with Cathelco’s
instructions. Cathelco can accept no responsibility for any damage or loss to Goods or otherwise arising as a result of incorrect
installation. The conditions of warranty may be extended if the installation is supervised by a Cathelco approved engineer but any
such extensions of warranty must be agreed in writing and signed by an Authorised Person. The supervision will not apply to the
structural applications involving preparation, cutting or welding of the vessel for the purposes of mounting and securing the installed
equipment.
9.2 Cathelco accepts no responsibility for testing and commissioning unless it is carried out by a Cathelco-approved engineer. In
such cases, Cathelco warrants that the engineer will exercise reasonable care and skill within the meaning of the Supply of Goods
and Services Act 1982. This warranty will run for one year from the Date of Commissioning where the Cathelco-approved engineer
has signed the commissioning report and it has also been countersigned by a recognised representative of the shipyard.
10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY – THE BUYER’S ATTENTION IS PARTICULARLY DRAWN TO THE CONTENTS OF THIS
CONDITION
10.1 All warranties, conditions and other terms implied by statute or common law (save for the conditions implied by section 12 of
the Sale of Goods Act 1979) are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, excluded from the Contract.
10.2 Nothing in the Conditions excludes or limits the liability of Cathelco:
(a) for death or personal injury caused by Cathelco's negligence; or
(b) under section 2(3) or any other applicable section under the Consumer Protection Act 1987; or
(c) for any matter which it would be illegal for Cathelco to exclude or attempt to exclude its liability; or
(d ) for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
10.3 The Buyer will not be entitled to claim any damages in contract, tort (including negligence or breach of statutory duty),
misrepresentation, restitution or otherwise, arising from the performance or contemplated performance of the Contract unless they
have first given notice of the claim to Cathelco in compliance with Condition 8.2.
10.4 Subject to Conditions 10.1 and 10.2:-
(a) Cathelco's total liability in contract, tort (including negligence or breach of statutory duty), misrepresentation, restitution or
otherwise, arising in connection with the performance or contemplated performance of the Contract shall be limited to the total cost
of the Goods; and
(b) Cathelco shall not be liable to the Buyer for:-
i) any indirect, special or consequential loss or damage; or
ii) loss of data or other equipment or property; or
iii) economic loss or damage; or
iv) incurring of liability for loss or damage of any nature whatsoever suffered by third parties (including in each case incidental
and punitive damages); or
v) any loss of actual or anticipated profit, interest, revenue, anticipated savings or business or damage to goodwill even if

claim rights to anywhere in the world.

failure results from events or circumstances outside its reasonable control which shall include (without limitation): natural disasters; war;
terrorism; accidents; explosions; incidents; breakdown of equipment or machinery; sabotage; strikes or other labour disturbances
(regardless of the reasonableness of the demands of labour); acts or omissions of government; port congestions; and shortage of
supplies or labour. Such delay or failure shall not constitute a breach of this Contract and the time for performance shall be extended by
a period equivalent to that during which performance is so prevented or a period of 21 days, whichever is the shorter, after the expiry of
which the Buyer shall be entitled to give notice in writing to Cathelco to terminate the Contract with respect to any Goods undelivered at
that time.

be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, the other Conditions will remain in force.

Condition will apply with whatever modification is necessary to make it valid, enforceable and legal.
1.1.1.1 13.3 The parties agree, in the circumstances referred to in Condition 13.1 to substitute for any invalid, unenforceable
or illegal Condition a valid, enforceable and legal Condition which achieves to the greatest extent possible the same

Failure or delay by Cathelco in enforcing or partially enforcing any term of the Contract shall not be construed as a waiver of any of
its rights under the Contract. Any waiver by Cathelco of any breach of, or any default under, any term of the Contract by the Buyer
shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default and shall in no way affect the other terms of the Contract.

of Third Parties) Act 1999 by any person that is not a party to it. This Condition 15.1 does not affect any right or remedy of any
person that exists or is available otherwise than pursuant to that Act.

17.2 Nothing in this Condition 17 shall limit the right of Cathelco to take proceedings against the Buyer in any other court of
competent jurisdiction, nor shall the taking of proceedings in any one or more jurisdiction preclude the taking of proceedings in any
other jurisdiction, whether concurrently or not, to the extent permitted by the law of such other jurisdiction
