Dear Sir

First, thanks for u= nderstanding the subject for voyage chartering.

I understood the situation t= hat you are in, but your side must try to quick laycan and send me actual Q8= 8 of mother vessel for max Sunday.

<= /div>
Regarding your request for 15 days layti= me, it means voyage time to Malaysia and owner can earn money. In worth case= if owner waiting for 15 days, the cost will be around 2 m usd.

But, what c= an I do for you is;

FYI, I will meet owner=E2=80=99s side as they wil= l arrive to Dubai for tomorrow.
I w= ill start to discuss to them on 3+3 TC to save time for you up to Monday, th= at be able to sign contract for Monday or Tuesday. That meaning 4-5 days of 1= 5 days as owner laycan is 9-11,
also I c= an try to convince owner for 144 HRS as laytime.
It means covering 2 days more and covering 10-11 days of 15 days th= at you requested.

The final result will following below;

1 option<= /b>: If I be successful to get approval from owner side on 3+3 TC, then ever= ything solved as per your request.

<= /div>
2 option: if owner asked for voya= ge charter as a trial and after that signing 3+3 TC, by above scenario, we c= overed 10-11 days of 15 days that you requested.

Thank you and Regards,
